There is also the Stockholm variation with f6.
Most recently, the Undefeated Opening (Queen Sacrifice variation) played at the GM level by Aman Hambleton.

I normally play the Englund for blitz just to take away white's pet lines or avoid the London System. I even had half a dozen people pre-move bishop to f4 after d4 and it's an immediate capture with e5xf4 without compensation.
If played accurately, one pawn temporary down is plenty of compensation for piece activity and an open game.
Englund Gambit is trash...
It's a one-trick-pony that will get you a win here and there, but it won't get you far.

I personally won't say it's trash or a one trick pony because I score 60% with it which is great when most of black's replies are in between 25-32% winning.
I like the Englund because I want to avoid theory, aspire tactical opportunities for both sides and want an open game for the time being while I learn the Nimzo and Modern defenses.

By no means am I proud but I was able to find the bishop sacrifice albeit a move late. This was played yesterday.
Openingtree.com is a great tool to review all your opening strengths and weaknesses. I learned that I was breaking even with typical book theory responses like QGD, g6 and Nf6. I also didn't like giving white it's way with book theory and early closed positions for blitz and bullet so I switched over to the Englund to ditch all the book theory and London system players.
Lastly, many blitz and bullet players who use d4 as their main repertoire are familiar up to 30 moves easily or passively maneuver pieces to intentionally win by flagging. That really disappoints me because I prefer imbalance and counter play so with Englund sidelines, I don't expect a draw which I only have 2 after a 100 games.
Therefore, not trash nor a one trick pony.

I play this a lot when I try to play the scandi but mix up my sides, good to know its a real line
Between under 2000 rated players it is a legit option to play for a win. But I couldn't find any englund gambit games in your archives, maybe you play it in another site.
You missed a tactic in that game. 4)..., Ne4! If he took the queen then it's legal mate.
Good game btw, the position transposed to a budapest gambit.
Interesting

Thanks for the tip!
I started learning tactics. Queens sacrifice and legal mates didn’t even enter my mind.

It could be interesting even as Black's worst reply to 1.d4.
However, it isn't even that: 1...g5 is worse.
Borg Gambit forever! 
That is ok Chuck! Soon you will be queen sacking a lot.
Game with computer level 1600 intermediante
Fritz Carl Anton Englund ( born in Västervik 22 febrary 1871 ) entered the Stockholm chess circles as a young man, and soon became a friend of Ludvig Collijn, and publisher of Collijn's books. Englund was also a noted problemist, and an editor of Tidskrift för Schack and its problem column. After 30 years of promoting chess, in 1927 he became the 4th honorary member of the Swedish Chess Federation.
Play it if you only what to win one game against an opponent... and roll the dice if the next Guy/Gail hasn't lost to it... (cause if they have... your not winning the game)
This and BDG ... once you figure out that key piece to deploy... (in this case Nc3... ) the whole thing falls like a house of cards
1.d4 e5 is also known as the Charlick Gambit after Henry Charlick (1845–1916), the second Australian chess champion, who introduced the 2...d6 line in the early 1890s. The main line Englund Gambit (2...Nc6, 3...Qe7) was introduced by Kārlis Bētiņš (1867–1943), who also established the Latvian Gambit. The Swedish player Fritz Carl Anton Englund (1871–1933) sponsored a thematic tournament in which all games had to begin with the position after 4.Qd5; the 1.d4 e5 gambit complex was later named after him.
The Englund Gambit is not often recommended to play because if the player blunders he may lose his queen in a few moves. Here is an example of an Englund Gambit game.
Another way:
It can be declined by white when d4 pawn is being supported by a horse, pawn, any other piece, It would be called Englund Gambit: Reversed French Defence.
