  Tore André Flo
Tore André Flo is the brother of Jostein Flo, and the youngest of five footballing brothers, four of whom have played top flight football in Norway.
Their cousin Håvard Flo was also a member of the side, so it was certainly a family affair at Sogndal.
As Norway desperately pushed forward, Tore André got the ball from his brother Jostein a few minutes before the end, and was fouled in the area.

Tore André left Norway in mid-1997 after representing Sogndal, Tromsø and Brann where he was very successful, in particular Brann for whom he scored 28 goals in 40 matches over 18 months.
As part of his acclimatisation, Ranieri routinely reassured team members of their places in the squad, confiding to Flo that he was a keen admirer of his style of play, and hence, played him from the beginning at Old Trafford in Ranieri's first match in charge.
However, despite Flo's statistical success for Rangers, doubters persist, citing his significant transfer as a license to belittle his contribution to the team beyond his goals.

 Tore Andre Flo - Chelsea FC - Football-Heroes.net
After being strongly linked with a move to either Liverpool or Everton, Norwegian international Tore Andre Flo chose to join Ruud Gullit's Chelsea revolution in May 1997 for a bargain £300, 000, the fee reflecting that Flo's contract with Norwegian side Brann Bergen was soon to expire.
Faced with the daunting task of ousting Mark Hughes or Gianfranco Zola from the team, Flo was the first to benefit when Gullit started rotating his strikers, and when Hughes was rested at Tottenham in December, Flo grabbed his opportunity in style with a classy treble as The Blues ran out 6-1 winners.
Flo was in the starting line-up for the final with Stuttgart in Stockholm and was the man who was replaced in the 71st minute by Gianfranco Zola, who rifled the game's only goal 17 seconds later.

 Lone striker Flo earns praise for eclipsing Ronaldo
Yet when France 98 is reflected on, the performance of Flo in Norway's 2-1 win over Brazil in Marseilles will be remembered as one of the outstanding individual displays, all the more meritorious as it was against the world champions.
Flo's fitness plus his willingness to battle almost single-handed against Brazil's defence were little short of astonishing.
It is as far from the beautiful game as could be imagined, yet while Ronaldo was strangely ineffective Tore Andre Flo, 24, kept driving forward to score the first goal and earn the controversial penalty which allowed Kjetil Rekdal to score the 87th minute winner.

 Coventry City 2-2 Chelsea
Twice Chelsea came back from the blow of going behind to score within a minute to gain a point at Highfield Road, but their defensive errors have now surely cost them any hope for a spring challenge for even a Champions League place.
Tore Andre Flo was twice the recipient of a Gianfranco Zola pass to equalise, and Gordon Strachan would no doubt have had words to say about his defence after letting Chelsea back into the game not once, but twice.
Chelsea had got the ball into some good wide positions but the crossing was of very poor standard in the first half, so their concentrated pressure did not find itself seriously threatening the Coventry goal, with Flo no doubt frustrated with the quality of his service.
