Tore André Flo (903 words)
Tore André Flo is the brother of Jostein Flo, and the youngest of five footballing brothers, four of whom have played top flight football in Norway.
Their cousin HÃ¥vard Flo was also a member of the side, so it was certainly a family affair at Sogndal.
As Norway desperately pushed forward, Tore André got the ball from his brother Jostein a few minutes before the end, and was fouled in the area.
Untitled Document (636 words)
Tore André left Norway in mid-1997 after representing Sogndal, Tromsø and Brann where he was very successful, in particular Brann for whom he scored 28 goals in 40 matches over 18 months.
As part of his acclimatisation, Ranieri routinely reassured team members of their places in the squad, confiding to Flo that he was a keen admirer of his style of play, and hence, played him from the beginning at Old Trafford in Ranieri's first match in charge.
However, despite Flo's statistical success for Rangers, doubters persist, citing his significant transfer as a license to belittle his contribution to the team beyond his goals.
