24 year old Tromso IL left winger Frode Fermann arrived at Carrow Road at the beginning of January 2000 for a week's trial with Norwich. Due to play in the Reserve clash with Millwall on Wednesday 5th January, this game was called off but was replaced by a clash with Gillingham that had been postponed before Christmas. Formerly with Silsand and Cercle Brugge, Frode has 16 caps for the Norwegian Under 21 side.

Unfortunately injury prevented Fermann from playing in the 3-1 defeat by Gillingham reserves. Later I discovered that Frode never made the journey across to Norwich due to his injury (Gilmore's Groin). Maybe he doesn't belong on this site at all...

Frode had a trial in August 2000 with West Bromwich Albion but was not "what they were looking for". In January 2002, Frode joined Norwegian Second Division side Skarp IL
