(Dagbladet): Odd Iversen was no dribble king. Odd Iversen was no distinctly technician. Odd Iversen was namely something completely different, he was a born goalscorer. Odd Iversen was also Ivers.
Odd Iversen was the first I knew about who cultivated it in football family is one of the finest, he formed a radarpar. Odd Iversen together with Harald Sunde at Rosenborg, it was really a sovereign radarpar and RBK also became champions in 1967 and 1969 thanks to these two worms holders, Odd Harald, the great wolf and the little fox. A wonderful sight. It was the time leather balls had a heart rooted in the working class.
Odd Iversen is arguably one of Norwegian football’s greatest, yes and it’s not just like printed in this moment when the corner flag is at half-mast, it is because it is damned true.
Come back
Odd Iversen’s dead, he died today. There is reason to stop the ball’s trajectory in some long minutes and honoring Odd, born November 6, 1945. Odd Iversen was center runner, Iversen was pointed. Iversen had a temperament that few. Ivers had mouthed, he spoke on his judges, line men, rich, poor and opponents, you dork not with Odd Iversen. He said from. Nothing affectation. And he pulled too short and quarantines, and he was hurt, time after time, but Ivers came back. Time after time.
He was a classic striker. Hard as flint, incredibly good head and a Preferred Foot as any defense and goalies almost peed in short pants off.
Odd Iversen as ten years old took gold ball, a talent beyond the ordinary. Iversen really started as goalkeeper since he was little and weave, but he towered gradually and became a player that audiences loved to see. He could be completely hopeless, but Aakk that, it could Plust happen when Iversen had quit smoking and was ready for battle.
He was always dangerous in front of goal, whether he hung a little tired practiced within the 16-yard box or gets into the crossbar or lay as a line in the air and knocked the ball crossed and legendary Øivind Johnsen in Sports revue meant he scored two waves equal measure in the same Mosse match, but it was the time it stood R in the corner of the television. R reprise. Iversen knew what a ball was for something and he also said that it went a little too fast when the British RBK coach George Curtis held up a ball with the words THIS IS A BALL.
Honoring
Iversen had what most footballers dream, he had what could grandstand people to moan of expectations. Hopes for something spektaklært, remember that this was the time when Norwegian national football mostly lost against Jugslavia, Denmark, Sweden, the USSR and GDR. And when the national team had a good tactic called out effort.
According Great Norwegian Encyclopaedia was Iversen in 1964 one Rosenborg player “… and he evolved rapidly, also physically. Spring 1966 he try being pointed in a friendly match against Molde and scored. In the first series the fight against Nidelv, he thanked for the trust with two of the match scores, and that gave victory. With another goal in the next match against Viking was place as center runs conquered for good. It led him straight into the youth team meeting with a star-studded Portuguese B-team in Setubal. A sensational 4-2 victory and a hat-trick of Ivers gave heroism. Thus neither the way to the A-team long, wi th debut against Finland same autumn and the first country brawl against Portugal in the subsequent Superbowl. “
Iversen did of course many professional offer, but he did not bother dragging to big clubs like Ajax, Glasgow Rangers or PSV Eindhoven, but he turned pro in three seasons, from 1970 to 1973, in Racing Mechelen in the Belgian 2nd division. Here it was damage and injuries, but he did speed things again in Norway, first in Rosenborg two seasons, saw four seasons in Makkern & amp; co. Vålerenga before Odd returned home in 1982 and rounded where it all started, in the white and black shirt to his beloved Rosenborg. The club which also showed a Go’fot responsibility and gave him a job when things were as bad for him. RBK is a club with a big heart. Enga too. Today shows both teams fans magnanimity and honor Odd Iversen. He who took down 45 caps and made 19 goals.
And those of us who are too old to blog as football mistress about nonsense and cash, remember a few games with tears and joy. Among other when Odd overlook made the winning goal against France in Strasbourg during the World Cup qualifiers in 1968. There were times, there were radio days of blissful Bjørge Lillelien including shouted that goalkeeper Sveinbjørn Olsen (Lyn) were briefly butting the ball as far up the stands as possible because this fight was Norway win.
Thank you
And we remember an evening at Ullevaal where Norway played against Sweden. Iversen from the start. On 7 September 1977, World Cup Qualifiers against Sweden. 23,065 spectators. Norway fielded this team: Geir Karlsen, Helge Karlsen, Jan Birkelund, Svein Grøndalen Trond Peddersen, Tor Egil “Toro” Johansen, Rune Ottesen, Stein Thunberg, Pål Jacobsen and Odd Iversen (substitute after 88 minutes Ole Johnny Henriksen ) and Tom Lund .
Rune Ottesen give Norway the lead after 34 minutes, before the Swedes ensures 1-1 by Thomas Sjöberg after 57 minutes. However, Odd Iversen seemed lazy, stiff and soon should add up as some of us said it, he showed us a little everyday magic. After 66 minutes standing there namely 2-1 to Norway, winning goal made of, yes you know.
We went on the “corpse” afterwards and celebrated with a pilsenøl too much. Odd Iversen was nor he that declined to a party too much. Odd lived in periods a bone hard life, there was a lot that did not work in the parlor, but for us with a round heart will Ivers always be reminded of the soul eternal shots and Iversens nettsus. Thank you.
