Petter Hagen (born 8 September 1969)[1] is a retired Norwegian footballer who played as a back and winger.
[4] After the 1989 season, "the youth international player with the feared left foot" joined the newly promoted first-tier club Fyllingen.
[6] Hagen subsequently became the first ever international player of Fyllingen, when Olsen selected him for the Norway U21 training camp in Iraq.
[8][9] As Fyllingen's pre-season progressed, Bergens Arbeiderblad praised his speed, technique and view and wrote that Hagen might break through in the highest league.
[12] Fyllingen thrashed Start 4–1 as the club, and Petter Hagen, made their debut in the highest league.
Hagen even made Dagbladet's "team of the round" together with teammates Vidar Bahus and Per Ove Ludvigsen.
[15] In addition, Fyllingen progressed through the 1990 Norwegian Football Cup, including an away game against Hagen's old club Aalesund.
The 1991 season became a failure, with Petter Hagen not playing a single league match for Fyllingen.
After the season, he also confessed to spending too much time in Bergen's nightlife, being recognized out on the town as a minor local celebrity.
Hagen had meetings with Moss FK, but joined Aalesund's southern neighbours IL Hødd.
[37] Having attended Volda University College, Hagen later moved to Rogaland and was a teacher in Kvernevik and then headmaster of Harestad School.
