Henning Berg Biography

Henning Berg is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on September 1, 1969 in Eidsvoll, Norway. Henning Stille Berg (Norwegian pronunciation, [‘hen:ING]’stIl@ ‘baerg]; born 1 September 1969), is a Norwegian football manager. He was a former player and defender. He is the head coach for AC Omonia, a club in the First Division of Cypriots.

Berg represented Norway at both the 1998 and 1994 FIFA World Cups as well as Euro 2000. Berg made his debut in Norway’s friendly against the Faroe Islands, May 1992. He earned 100 caps and scored nine goals over a 12 year period. Claus Lundekvam replaced him in the first half of his last international match against Wales in May 2004 to end his career as a player for Norway.

Berg rejoined Blackburn Rovers in September 2000, initially on loan for three months, before securing a permanent transfer under manager Graeme Souness. Rovers were promoted back to the Premier League in 2000–01. Further success followed for Berg in the following season, when Blackburn won the League Cup, beating Tottenham Hotspur 2–1 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, with Berg lifting the trophy as captain.

Berg later moved on from Blackburn and had a season at the Scottish club Rangers in 2003–04, where he played his last game professionally.

Berg made his debut at Blackburn on February 2, 1993. He was a substitute for Crystal Palace’s 2-1 Premier League home loss to Blackburn. Berg quickly made the Rovers right-back position his own and was a key player in Blackburn’s title-winning season 1994-1995 under Kenny Dalglish. He missed only two games during the season. Berg was also a capable centre-back and earned him a move from Blackburn to Manchester United in 1997, for a cost of PS5million – the highest fee paid by any British club for a defender.

His career spanned from 1988 to 2004. He was most notable in the Premier League, where he won titles both with Blackburn Rovers (Manchester United) and became the first player to win two Premier Leagues. Before moving to Scotland, he played for Valerenga in Norway and Lillestrom in Sweden. He then finished his career with Rangers in the Scottish Premier League. Norway capped him 100 times, scoring nine goals.

Berg was born in Eidsvoll and played for Valerenga before moving to England. Blackburn Rovers manager Kenny Dalglish went to Wembley’s match between Norway and England on 14 October 1992. Tore Pedersen was hurt during the match, and Berg replaced him. Dalglish was so impressed by Berg, he offered him a contract. Berg joined Blackburn for PS400,000 in January 1993.

Berg had supported Manchester United as a boy and manager Alex Ferguson had first wanted to sign Berg for United nine years earlier when he was a teenager, but the move fell through because United could not obtain a work permit. Berg was a regular choice in the Manchester United line-up during the 1997–98 season, but the arrival of Jaap Stam in July 1998 meant he was restricted to just 16 Premier League appearances in 1998–99 as the team won the Treble of the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League. Berg missed the 1999 FA Cup Final and the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final through injury, but still picked up a medal for both, having been involved in most of the team’s matches on the way to the final. With the league title in 1999, Berg became the first player to win the Premier League with two clubs, a feat he would be alone with until 2010, when it was matched by Ashley Cole and Nicolas Anelka. Gael Clichy, Kolo Touré, Carlos Tevez, Robert Huth, N’Golo Kanté and Riyad Mahrez have all since matched the feat as well. Berg regained his place in the side during the 1999–2000 season, when Ronny Johnsen was injured.
