When asked about the greatest thing he has ever done he answered when he played in the B-final of Norway Cup (the worlds largest international soccer tournament for kids) and scored a goal. It was 1988, he played defense on his team ("which is the most boring position ever") Røa, and didn't have a habit of scoring, but suddenly after a corner the ball landed in front of his feet, he closed his eyes and shot straight into the net. But his team still lost.
