Kistå turns 60!
Veteran player and charismatic
football maniac, Egil Christensen, turned 60 years on Sunday 27. January!
Kistå have played
for Vaulen and Jarl all his lifetime. "I started in Jarl, now I'm at Vaulen,
Boys 50. We aren't good enough to be amongst the Veterans," said chief
manager Christensen. "It's fun and meanwhile serious if you do a mistake
now as earlier," admits Egil that now will retire after having worked in
44 years.
He won the local
Youth Championship with Jarl in 1958, after they won over Bryne in the
final. With his nickname, "Kistå", he dominated down the left winger.
Egil's career is long. He
have played for or trained the first teams to Brodd, Jarl and Vaulen. The
Girl team and Junior team to Vaulen, and U-15 and U-13 in KFUM and Midtbygden.
He have also been arbitrator in Brodd and leader of Sport in Jarl's Youth
scheme. |

Amongst the players he have
got through is the great football player Per Henriksen during the time
in Brodd. Per that was a star in Viking and got 10 caps for Norway!
Else he have played for
a massive crowd of 80,000 in England. The game was Chelsea versus Wolves
and Kistå played in the local orchestra, Kvaleberg guttemusikkkorps.
He also played in front of 60,000 in a game between Arsenal and Cardiff.
"I was in Kvaleberg orchestra from the start in 1951," said Egil that played
cornet. And ever since 1955 he have been a Gunners fan. |
