Bredesen was born and raised in Horten, and played for \u00d8rn. There he completed his degrees, and there he made his debut as a 16-year-old. Early on, he distinguished himself as a very technically skilled midfielder – inside runner, as it was called at the time – who could also score goals. On the football museum’s website, it is told about when, growing up during the war, he and his comrades lay in the bushes behind the goal in Lystlunden in Horten and sneak peeks at German soldiers training. When the ball bounced out into the small forest behind the goal, the boys grabbed the ball and ran with it as far and as fast as they could, into the forest where they were far better known than the Germans. Ballane used them to found the football team TIFF – Tidenes Ivrigste Fotball-Forening, he told the football magazine Josimar. He made his A-team debut for \u00d8rn in a private match against Fredrikstad, largely the best Norwegian club in the post-war years. It was inspiring, and he got a permanent place on the \u00d8rn team, which moved up to the Hovudserien in 1948. Scored in his national team debut. friendly match against Yugoslavia at Ullevaal in June 1949. He was not actually drafted, but was a reserve and got the chance when the veteran and star player Reidar Kvammen was injured. Bredesen’s first international match was also to be Kvammen’s last. And Bredesen sent Norway into the lead in the match which the Olympic silver medalists from Yugoslavia eventually won 3\u20131. But it was during his time in Italy that he became known. He was not the first Norwegian professional abroad, but he was the first in Italy, and the first with great success. He himself believes that he also had a good dose of luck when he got a professional contract. – We played an international match against the Netherlands in Amsterdam in June 1951. Talent scouts were there to watch the promising Dutch player Abe Lenstra. But we had Thorleif Olsen, who made sure that the Dutchman didn’t get anything done in that match. Instead, they noticed me, Per Bredesen told the news program Da Capo in 1994. He first received an offer from Fiorentina, but that offer was withdrawn due to new restrictions on the number of foreign players the club could have. Instead, the aircraft technician apprentice was offered a trial game for the Rome club Lazio, which already had Norwegian Ragnar Larsen in its stable. There he tried out an internal training match between the A and B teams in the club. The B team won 8-3, and Bredesen scored five of the goals. The contract was then secured, and he traveled to Italy the following year. LAST MATCH WITH THE GANG: Bredesen in battle for \u00d8rn against Fredrikstad Nine seasons in Italy It was to be nine years for Bredesen in Italy. Serie A was one of the absolute top leagues at the time, and the salaries were far higher than, for example, in England. In his first contract, his salary was set at NOK 150,000 for two years. Quite a rise from 9,000 a year at the aircraft factory in Horten. The first three years he played for Lazio, where he scored 19 goals in his 93 games. Then he changed club to Udinese. It started badly, because shortly after the transfer, Udinese – who had fought at the top the previous season – were sentenced to relegation to Serie B due to match-fixing. But with Bredesen in the team, Udinese won Serie B superbly. – It was probably my best season, Bredesen said later. He scored 17 goals. Ligameister and European Cup semi-final STARS: Per Bredesen was great in Italy, here in action for Lazio in Serie A Photo: NTB \/ NTB Perhaps that was why he was noticed by the big club Milan, and that was where he had the most success. The transfer fee was valued at around NOK 1.2 million, which for many years was a transfer record for a Norwegian player. The annual salary was stated at a sum equivalent to NOK 260,000. An unimaginable sum at a time when an average Norwegian annual salary was around NOK 10,000. In Milan’s senior team, he also played with Sweden’s great star Nils Liedholm, who was to be central to Sweden’s final team in the World Cup in 1958. He played 27 of the club’s 34 matches on the way to the league gold in Serie A in 1957. In the top match against Juventus, he scored the goal that gave Milan the victory 1-0, and became the first Norwegian to do so. Six of the goals were signed by the midfielder from Horten. The series gold also gave Milan a place in the new European series winners’ cup in 1957\/58, where the team played all the way to the final. – The home length was greater than reason But Bredesen had the means to get the home length. – I was determined to give myself as a professional. I had become both restless and nervous, and wanted to go home, he wrote in his book. – Homesickness was stronger than reason. I should have stayed in Milan until they threw me out, he wrote. FLOWERS: Bredesen is thanked by \u00d8rn after the last match before leaving for Italy Photo: NTB \/ NTB He went home to build a house, a year before the contract expired. Milan contacted him all the time and asked him to come back, he writes in the book “The ball is round”. At the end of the winter, he allowed himself to be persuaded to return. He did not play league matches, but had a few cup matches. And he was part of Milan’s two most important matches at the time: the semi-finals against Manchester United in the European Cup. He was in the team that lost the first leg 2\u20131 at Old Trafford. And he got the club’s biggest triumph, 4\u20130 over United in the return leg, with such enthusiastic and loud fans in the stands that United were scared off the pitch, according to British newspapers. – My two toughest matches were the semi-final against Manchester United and a company match against Norcontrol, he said in the local newspaper Gjengangeren. But there he also injured his ankle, and did not make it to the final against Real Madrid. The Spanish team is too strong and wins 3-2 after extra time. “Tocco Magico” Bredesen still didn’t move home after that, and ended his Italy career with one season in Bari and two in Messina, most recently in Serie B. By then he had 213 games and 50 goals behind him in the boot country. There he also received an offer to stay on as a coach. But in 1961 he chose to go home. Then he had seen traces of him among football-mad Italians. “Tocco Magico” – the man with the magical touch – was the nickname the technical and dribbling Westfold had been given. Long after he had returned home, he was a big name in Italy, where he vacationed every year. In “Da Capo”, he tells of a time when he visited Rome and was going to rent a car. No, the rental car company did not have several cars inside. – Can you call Lazio and ask if they can help me? asked Bredesen. The young man behind the counter widened his eyes. – Are you Per Bredesen? There’s a BMW right outside, he said. In 1961 he returned home to Horten. Players with a professional background had a quarantine period to be allowed to play Norwegian amateur football again. International match refusal for an ex-pro LAST INTERNATIONAL MATCH: The match against Sweden in Gothenburg on 30 September 1951 was to be Per Bredensen’s 18th and last. Bredesen (player no. 4 from the right) scored the 3-3 goal in the match Norway won 4-3 Photo: NTB But Bredesen was finally allowed to play for his old club \u00d8rn, which at the time played in the so-called “marathon series”, a qualifying series for a place in the new joint 1st division which was supposed to replace the old main series. Bredesen’s return lifted \u00d8rn, but the club still failed to qualify. Nor did the national team enjoy the old Italy pro. The rules were strict there at the time: If you were a pro or had been, the door to the national team was closed forever. That rule was not lifted until 1969, far too late for Per Bredesen. He therefore remained standing with the 18 international matches and seven goals he had scored before the professional adventure took off. He therefore never received a gold medal for the milestone of 25 international matches. How many international matches he would have won without that rule is just speculation. But there had been many. – BEST: NFF’s powerful and legendary general secretary Nicolai Johansen thought Per Bredesen was the best Norwegian player of all time Photo: Aage Storl\u00f8kken \/ NTB – He is the best Norwegian player ever, said the Football Association’s legendary general secretary Nicolai Johansen. The very last was against Sweden in Gothenburg on 30 September 1951. He scored the equalizing goal to make it 3\u20133 in the match Norway won 4\u20133. After he had ended his active career, he coached his former city rival Falk. And he himself played old-boy football until he was well into his 60s. Italian clubs never forgot Bredesen either. For several decades after he moved home to Norway, the Bredesen club was contacted when they were interested in a Norwegian player. Bredesen gave advice as best he could, but he never became an agent.
