Inge André Olsen
Encyclopedia
Inge André Olsen is a retired Norwegian
footballer
who last played for Stabæk. Olsen came to the club from Start in 1998.
In his second season with Stabæk, the then-Norway U21
international attracted interest from English clubs Leeds United and Wimbledon
. A transfer to Wimbledon seemed likely, but it fell through after Olsen was tackled by Heiðar Helguson
in a league match and sustained a broken tibia
and fibula.
In Stabæk's return season to the Tippeliga in 2006, Olsen was one of the most important player for his team, and was linked to one of the favourites to win the league, Brann from Bergen. The move never materialized. Olsen was loaned out from Stabæk in both 2007 and 2008.
In November 2011, Olsen along with Truls Haakonsen were arrested and charged in the case of the transfer of player Veigar Páll Gunnarsson
from Stabæk to Vålerenga.
