Softfootball celebrates a special moment for Norwegian football old-timer Stig Inge Bjrnebye, who turns 56.
Born in the calm little town of Elverum in 1969, his journey from a skinny kid kicking balls around to a beloved figure at Liverpool is honestly a story full of patience, stubbornness, and that classic Nordic work ethic people always talk about.
Funny enough, football wasn't even his only passion early on. Bjrnebye spent a good chunk of his younger years trying to juggle the sport with Alpine skiing.
