Turkish Posted 27 September, 2013 Share Posted 27 September, 2013 Yes he did, I remember this well. Can't remember why it didn't happen but it fell though at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_saint Posted 27 September, 2013 Share Posted 27 September, 2013 Think we had them both on trial at the same time but only wanted to take one on. So decided on Ostenstad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles34 Posted 27 September, 2013 Share Posted 27 September, 2013 Yeah didn't really make sense! I remember him being linked and it not happening, but can't remember why it didn't. Cause he decided to go to Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 27 September, 2013 Share Posted 27 September, 2013 Cause he decided to go to Chelsea I don't remember it like that, I think he ended up at Chelsea a year or so later. I may be wrong but I'm sure it wasn't a choice between us and them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonManager Posted 27 September, 2013 Share Posted 27 September, 2013 But but, he did sign for us, played 100s of games, scored hundreds of goals - don't you remember? DON'T YOU REMEMBER? Ohgodogodogodogodogod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 27 September, 2013 Share Posted 27 September, 2013 I recall Souness was keen to bring him over, he came on trial with another player, not sure I it was Ostenstad or Lundekvan. But the deal couldn't happen immediately, and by the time the fee was agreed with his club, he declined it, or did not want to move - possibly as he wanted to end the season with his club in Norway before moving, or possibly he knew of Chelsea's interest.

Ostenstad signed a few weeks before that classic 6-3 demolition of Man.U , but as memory serves ......Flo didn't sign (for Chelsea) until sometime in the following summer ...(1997) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

so22saint Posted 28 September, 2013 Share Posted 28 September, 2013 His sister was at Uni in Southampton. I was introduced to her by Claus in New York New York the night we beat Man U 6-3. She was introduced as Jostein Flo's sister as he was pretty unknown in England in 1996. She was hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
