INFO:

Jostein Flo (3 October 1964) is a former Norwegian footballer famous for his physical playing style and aerial dominance.

At club level he usually played for centre-forwards, for the national team he could played as right-winger, and was instrumental for the tactics applied by former Norway coach Egil Olsen. Playing in characteristic 4 - 5 - 1 formation, the left-back would often hit long crosses to Flo, who in turn would head the ball to either one of the central midfielder or to the strikers.

This was known as the Flo Pass, and the Norwegian national team garnerod much critism for it's perceived long ball approach. Egil Olsen did, however take the national team to two World Cup, and the long ball style of play is considered to have played as important role in accomplishing this.

Jostein Flo was a decent high jumper in his younger days, and has a personal best jump of 2,06 meters for 1983 (2,08 indoor from 1987).
