Stein Arne Ingelstad

Stein Arne Ingelstad (born 25 July 1970) is a retired Norwegian football striker.

Spending most of his career in HamKam, he also served in the same club as a coach, board member and administrator.

In Ingelstad's first Eliteserien season, 1992, Hamkam struggled and barely survived the relegation playoff.

[10] After a goalless period in the Eliteserien from September 1992, Ingelstad hit his stride in June 1993 when scoring both goals in a victory against Hedmark rivals Kongsvinger.

[13][14] After the league took a two-week summer break, Ingelstad once again scored Hamkam's only goal, this time in an away victory against Fyllingen.

[17] In addition to his 7 Hamkam goals in 1994, Ingelstad was noted for his physical shape at the time, squatting 157.5 kg and beating Lillestrøm's perennial top performer, Frode Grodås, in strength tests.

[20] Ingelstad sought a club where he could play in the striker position, and was brought by Hallvar Thoresen and Gunnar Martin Kjenner to a trial in the Netherlands.

Having worked several years with sales in the pharmaceutical industry, Ingelstad vowed to make Hamkam an attractive team for audiences.

At the time, Hamkam was lagging behind local league rivals Kongsvinger, Elverum and Brumunddal.
