| Gunhild Bentzen Følstad (born 3 November 1981) is a Norwegian former football defender from Overhalla Municipality (near Namsos). The daughter of a football trainer, she played for Trondheims-Ørn and the Norway women's national football team, making 76 appearances. She is a qualified physiotherapist and her hobbies are skiing, reading and music.
Følstad captained Norway in one match against China in the Four-Nations Tournament in Guangzhou in January 2006. In a match played in pouring rain China won 3-1.
She played as a central defender for her club and was a strong, quick and reliable player who played equally well at right- or left-back in the national team. Her throw-in to the six-yard box from the sideline was a useful weapon.
At the 2007 Women's World Cup in China in September 2007 Følstad played in matches watched by 50,000 spectators. Norway finished the tournament in 4th place.
On 9 June 2008 she was named to the Norwegian roster for the 2008 Summer Olympics to be held in Beijing, China. Wikipedia text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License - Full article |
