Vidar Riseth (@RisethVidar) had one of those chats with his dad when he was 7. He wanted to play professional football and he asked his dad what a perfect career would look like. His dad said, "son, first you play for your local club and then you go on to play for Rosenborg, the best team in Norway. You can then play professionally in (one or two of) the four biggest leagues in the world (England, Spain, Germany, and Italy), and then represent your country in the World Cup. And lastly, you have to play in the Champions League. If you do all that, you'll have played in the same competitions as the best players in the world." And we'll just leave it at that for those that might not know what followed...

Vidar Riseth has played for 8 professional clubs in 5 different countries, represented Norway 52 times and scored 4 goals, beat Brasil in the World Cup, and scored the winner in a Scottish cup final. He is now executive sponsor director of Rema 1000, a multinational grocery chain. We talked about selling potatoes and Christmas trees to get by at the start of his career, the culture shock that first met him abroad, the different pressures that followed throughout his career, Henrik Larsson's bet on him for the cup final, transitioning into life after football, a certain champagne deal + much more!
