Wasn't he on trial at the same time as Egil Ostenstad?

[Turkish]

Yes he did, I remember this well. Can't remember why it didn't happen but it fell though at the last minute.

uh?

uh?

 

Yeah didn't really make sense! I remember him being linked and it not happening, but can't remember why it didn't.

[marc_saint]

Think we had them both on trial at the same time but only wanted to take one on. So decided on Ostenstad.

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.

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Is this a bit like the Drogba, nah we got Beattie so we don't need him thing?

[Minsk]

Cause he decided to go to Chelsea

 

This. Chelsea offered him higher wages than we did; he joined them.

[RonManager]

But but, he did sign for us, played 100s of games, scored hundreds of goals - don't you remember?

 

DON'T YOU REMEMBER?

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.

Pretty sure you got that one right on the button, Turkish.

 

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)

Yep just checked, he signed for Chelsea for £300k in the summer of 1997, souness had gone by then and been replaced by Dave Jones, ostenstad joined in 1996.

[Tokyo-Saint]

Add him to the list along side John Hartson, Drogba and Gary Lineker.

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.
