Got death threats after the transition from brown to blue – ABC News

Photo of a child with severed head appeared in the mailbox at Per Ivar Fornes after he left Topsham favor of Strømsgodset.

first time since 1976 meet Buskerud rivals at the top level Saturday. 90s left Fornes a downward MIF favor of the elite team SIF.

– There was a violent track and I got death threats both by letter and by telephone. It is a very rivalry if you play in the village or town. I do not know how serious it was, but it was vehemently says Fornes.

From being Mjøndalen-fans big loverboy, he was in some hated.

– I had just become a father and got a letter with a picture of a kid with severed head. It was uggent, people went well far, says the former goalgetter said.

History is full of players who have donned both the brown Mjøndalen-suit and the dark blue NSA suit. Odd Johnsen, Buskerud football hero in the 1980s and 1990s, dodged much. Maybe let the boy with curls cheaper away since he was local boy from Hillside.

– For many, this hatred. I’m not there. This is fun. The rivalry between the clubs goes far back says Odd Johnsen.

Gruff

Buskerud derby played Saturday at 18, but are not made to risk battle of NFF or police.

– I’m actually afraid of gruff. And hope it is good security in Drammen. I hope at some point, but nothing that is above lines. Pubs will do well with the late start of the game, but I hope people behave. This should only be fun, says Johnsen said.

– I’m NSA boy. I am from Drammen. I’ll never forget the semifinals in 1991. We were in the bottom of our table, they were high on her. It was wild rivalry. Players knew each other well. It was full on the stadium an hour before the start. A crazy mood. The heart gets to know the pressure now. People are helnervøse, mostly in estate after the loss against Vålerenga, says Johnsen.

He is Norwegian champion in bandy with Mjøndalen. In 1986 there were also series silver in football in brown. In 1991 he became Cups with SIF along with current MIF coach Vegard Hansen.

– I guess 3-0 SIF. We have to drive a bit. And Vegard Hansen has said that his club are relegated, continues the former cuphelten.

Undoing

From Namsos follows Fornes with their old clubs.

– Says Odd 3-0? No, I think 1-1. After all, derby, although goods must be favorites. MIF is underdogs anyway this year. I hope Buskerud rescues two teams in the premier league, said Fornes.

He subsequently player and coach home in Namsos.

– The claws in Potan. I am very thankful for my time in Buskerud. I had many great experiences at Lower Spokes and Marienlyst. I regret that I went home and did trønder me. Namsos does not travel upwards in the divisions, but it becomes part trips down to see fights with MIF and SIF. I’m still Buskerud patriot says Fornes.
