Jan Aage Fjortoft - Planet Football

[Sothall_Blade]

An old article. It might have been put on here at the time but I hadn't seen it before:-

http://www.planetfootball.com/in-de...trailblazers-impersonating-journos-aeroplane/

"There are two distinct patterns to Fjortoft’s career in England. The first is that he played in cities where the football is truly at the heart of the community, arriving in the north after Swindon to play in what we can poetically describe as Proper Football Towns: Middlesbrough, Sheffield, Barnsley.

The second is that in the case of all but Sheffield United, Fjortoft played during the most exciting times in his club’s recent history. From brief glimpses of the Promised Land at Barnsley and Swindon Town to Middlesbrough’s league of nations under Bryan Robson, life was never dull. ETC..."

One of my favourite ex-Blades. Short but sweet time as a player and seems to be a good, down to earth person

The main difference between English players and Norwegian players?
