Go back to Grorud

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
Renault 5.
Image via Wikipedia

Jo Hooley was a colorful figure from Barnsley. In 1986 I think it was, I was a proud 19 year old player in the Skeid squad.

I even got my own car, a Renault 5 with Kristiansen on the side.

In those days striping your hair and making it lighter was a cool thing to do. So I was not an exception.

The problem was that the hole thing went wrong and all my hair went totally white….

Just like Jo’s hair, of other causes ofcourse.

So… the other players started to call me “little Hooley”. They had a ball on my expense :-(

One of those days we where driving to Kjelsaas for a game and Hooley stopped my car and I rolled down the window.

He was a man that made you a little nervous, and he said:

“Lars, are you a playboy????????”.

No I stuttered. He replied:

“If you are, you can go back to Grorud”

It was obvious that he did not like my “new” hairstyle.

A story I allways remember he he.
