	Kjetil Rekdal
		Kjetil Rekdal was perhaps the single-most important player in Norway's rise from perennial also-rans to one of Europe's top teams in the 1990s.
		Rekdal was a proven winner who was cool as ice under pressure and scored a number of vital goals, including the spectacular equaliser at Wembley in 1992, and always played at his best in the big games.
		Rekdal made the most of his opportunity in the game against Hungary, earning Man of the Match honors in most newspapers, and from then on he was hardly ever out of the side.

		Kjetil Rekdal, the former Norwegian soccer star who went on to coaching, reportedly is a candidate to succeed Trond Sollied as head coach for Belgian club Brugge.
		Rekdal said he has no firm offers from other clubs on the table, but Aftenposten reports he's one of the hottest prospects to take over in Brugge.
		Rekdal has a good reputation in Belgian soccer, and a post at Brugge can be a springboard to a coaching job in Germany.

	Brazil beaten by Rekdal's sting in tail
		A PENALTY with three minutes remaining, expertly converted by Kjetil Rekdal, earnt Norway a second-round tie against Italy in Marseilles on June 27.
		Rekdal seemed to take an eternity preparing for the most crucial penalty in Norway's history but the midfielder's right-foot shot gave Taffarel no chance.
		When Norway broke forward, Brazil's defence was a little shaky and when Roar Strand laid the ball back for the yellow-booted Kjetil Rekdal, the midfielder's 25-yard shot was too close to Taffarel's left-hand post for his comfort.

		Kjetil Rekdal's men, who saw Morten Berre volley just too high five minutes from time, headed back to Scandinavia with their reputation enhanced but perhaps feeling they might have done even better had they taken their chances.
		Shay Given had to keep out another Gashi effort and a long-range free-kick from David Brocken as his side struggled to stem the tide in the closing minutes of the half, and it was boos rather than cheers that ushered the home side from the field at the break.
		Valerenga coach Kjetil Rekdal was disappointed with the decision which cost his side the opening goal - and a result he felt could have been better.

		However, parity was short-lived and when two goals in two minutes from Kjetil Wæhler and Flo killed the contest off just before the half-hour mark.

		After the break, Rekdal was told to man-mark Slovenian play-maker Zahovic, which proved very effective, and gradually Norway took over more and more.
		Another vital goal by Rekdal, who really is a man for the big occations, as he was also the one who scored the late winner against Brazil in WC98, the three late goals against Hungary in WCQ98, the only goal in WC94 and the equalizer at Wembley in WCQ94.

		The former Norwegian international, famous for scoring a thundering drive against England at Wembley in October 1992, was left fuming as his side lost the game 1-0 and lashed out at a nearby football at the final whistle only to see it fly directly at Hauge.

		Nineteen-year-old Martin Brittain was handed a debut as a replacement for Bridges two minutes later — but as the visitors pushed forward and after Berre went perilously close, Jenas sprang the offside trap with a minute remaining and squared for Ameobi to ease the nerves.

		Norway seemed doomed when Bebeto rose to head home a cross from the left by Denilson in the 78th minute to make it 1-0 for Brazil as Group `A' rivals Morocco were racing towards a 3-0 win over Scotland and apparently destined for a place in the second round.
		With his country's World Cup survival hanging on the outcome of the spot kick, the bearded Rekdal held his nerve and crashed a magnificent right-foot drive just inside the upright beyond goalkeeper Taffarel's dive to the right.

		Sunday's game between Vålerenga IF and IK Start could well be the decisive fixture of one of the most thrilling Norwegian seasons in recent memory.
		Vålerenga hold a three-point lead with five games remaining, and coach Kjetil Rekdal could be inclined to look for a draw as his team take on Start at their home stadium in Kristiansand.
		Rekdal was furious after what he considered a poor refereeing decision contributed to Wednesday's 2-0 defeat by Lillestrøm SK in the Norwegian Cup semi-finals, and he has long complained that a busy autumn schedule has put additional pressure on the UEFA Cup hopefuls.

		Also, even though the goal keeper did foul Solskjær, a yellow card would have been sufficient in my opinion, as there were a couple of defenders rushing back at the time.
		Some ten minutes later, Mykland sent Solskjær through in the middle, and he finished the nice move off with a typical striker finish, a fierce shot unstoppable by the new Saudi goal keeper.

		Before the qualifying got started, Olsen had recalled two seemingly forgotten men to the national team - former Molde star Kjetil Rekdal who had disappeared off the radar screen playing in Belgium, and giant striker Jostein Flo who was banging in goals for Sogndal, but not considered skilled enough to play for the national team.
		With Rekdal and Flo in the side, Norway's qualifying campaign got off to a spectacular start with a 10-0 rout against San Marino.
		That victory was followed by a surprising home win against Holland and an equally surprising 1-1 draw against England at Wembley, which meant Norway topped the group as 1992 drew to a close.
