Thanks go to Dag
T Hoelseth of the Norwich City Supporters' Club of Scandinavia for
the following information:
Arne Erlandsen arrived in Lillestroem SK (the Norwegian Canaries)
in 1979 and played 2-3 seasons there. In December 1981, he came
to Norwich City on trial. Ken Brown did describe him in the matchday
programme for the 28th December 1981 clash with Luton Town as "a
midfield player who likes scoring goals" but for one reason or another
was not offered a contract.
Arne then spent 2-3 seasons for the Swedish side Djurgaarden, then
returned to Lillestroem where he played several seasons. Later he
joined Stroemsgodset IF (Drammen) where he won a cup final medal
vs. Rosenborg in 1991. He returned for a third spell with Lillestroem
SK soon after, but got injured and had to retire. Since then, he
has been on the staff of Lillestroem where he progressed to become
Head Coach. In addition to his coaching career, Arne continued playing
with Flisbyen and then in June 2000, he signed for 3rd Division
side Volla.
In November 2004, Arne joined IFk Gothenberg as coach.
