Some years ago, Scotland's Shame FC signed a striker from Norway. His name was Harold Martin Bratbaak, and he had a rather good scoring record in the Eliteserien (if such it was called, then).

He flew into Scotland to be hailed at the airport by hordes of devout and dedicated sellik fanatics, and that was just the media. 

However, far from  a Norse God, or a Viking Thunderboots, what emerged from the 'plane was a bespectacled chap who looked less a footballer, and more a mild mannered accountant.

 

He played a couple of years for the fhilth, was not terribly successful as a striker, and returned to Norway. 

 

With an irony, which may only be described as immaculate, he subsequently played for Rosenborg FC, in the CL, against the beasts from the East, and scored both goals in a 2 - 0 victory, which, a f a I recall, ejected them from the Competition.

Oh how we laughed!

 

When I saw the photos of their newly borrowed full back, involuntarily, and immediately, Harald, who had completely passed from memory,  came to mind.
