Leif Eriksen (footballer, born 1940)

[1] Making his debut at 17 years of age in 1958, Eriksen played a total of 142 top-tier games for Vålerenga in which he scored 58 goals.

This makes him Vålerenga's second-leading scorer all-time in the Norwegian Premier League behind Morten Berre who scored 62 goals.

In the championship-deciding game against Steinkjer, Eriksen fractured his foot, but was somehow able to finish the match (substitutions were at that time not allowed after the start of the second half).

[2] Eriksen made his senior debut for Norway in a May 1964 friendly match against Ireland, coming on as a 20th-minute substitute for Roald Jensen, and earned a total of four caps, scoring one goal.
