crazy al pointed out the presence of a "Bradford," presumably from UCLA, at Alta IF, Jay Needham's Norwegian team. I assume this is Brad Rusin. Here's a snip from the club site: Nå går vi inn i en spennende periode, der den kanskje viktigste jobben vi gjør er å finne de rette spillerne som skal inn å forsterke vårt lag. Vi har allerede fått Raiko fra Bosnia på besøk, og i kveld kommer en mann med det velklingende navnet Bradford. http://altaif.no/article.jsp?grp=fotball&id=737 Also, I learned a new word in Norwegian today: Grizzlybjørn. Rusin bio: http://uclabruins.cstv.com/sports/m-soccer/mtt/rusin_brad00.html
Geography major with a career objective in engineering management or architecture/construction management Looks like he is putting that on the back burner.
Rusin was at Start & a couple of other clubs in Norway last summer but didn't catch on. Alta is so far north it's unlike many other places, beautiful country. Good luck to Brad & Jay in lifting the club up.
Yes. it was Rusin. I couldn't remember his surname. Thanks. He played in Alta's most recent pre-season match against Bodo Glimt. Bodo didn't bring all of their starters. But put a respectible squad on the field. Alta won 3-2. Needham had the game winner. From the Altaposten article, it looks like Alta got a good look at Rusin. I assume they will decide this week whether he is worth paying the price for a foreign player.
