Øystein Wormdal is a retired Norwegian footballer who played for Orkdal IL and Rosenborg BK.
In the 1971 Cup Final he would have been awarded the title if he had played, but coach Nils Arne Eggen instead chose to use his last substitution for Tor Røste Fossen.
Eggen told Wormdal that he would have ample opportunities later, but Rosenborg would not claim a title again until 1985, the season after Womdal retired.
[3] Wormdal made his way to the national football team in 1979 and helped Norway qualify for the 1980 Summer Olympics, including winning over West Germany.
[4] Wormdal played a right back who was particularly noted for being able to quickly bring the ball from the defense to the offense, also in difficult circumstances.
