Erik Mykland Football player

Erik Mykland (born 21 July 1971) is a Norwegian retired footballer who played as a midfielder. He was nicknamed Myggen (the mosquito) during his career, as he used to flap his arms and hands like one when celebrating his goals.A rarity in modern Norway footballers (standing at a mere 171 centimeters and a technical player), he played professionally in six different countries, mainly representing IK Start, and amassed 78 caps and two goals for the Norwegian national team, having appeared in two World Cups, in 1994 and 1998, as well as Euro 2000.Mykland was one of the most popular footballers in Norway, well-liked but never without controversy, his bohemian, unshaved look and relaxed lifestyle in contrast to those of the typical footballers.
