My Take
Erik Thorstvedt is the picture of a commanding goalkeeper, a 193 cm Norwegian who earned 97 caps and started in goal at the 1994 World Cup. What I admire most is the range of his career, from Viking and Eik-Tønsberg at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach, IFK Göteborg and Tottenham Hotspur abroad. Reflexes honed in the cold Scandinavian game holding up on Europe's biggest stages says everything about his quality. Twice honoured with the Kniksen awards, he is clearly revered at home. For me he embodies dependability, the steady presence behind a defence that lets everyone in front of him play with confidence.
