Jan Ove Pedersen.
Born. Oslo 12th. Nov. 1968.
Debut. Swansea 4. Nov. 1997. played 20 games 1 goal.
Arguably one of the best players that has played for Hartlepool United Football Club.
Small in stature but a massive talent only played 20 games but won the Poolie fans over in those 20 games.
Jan started his playing career with Norwegian club Klofta before moving to Lilliestrom in 1987.
Jan was a regular in the side playing 165 games and bagging 17 goals. He moved to Brann Bergen in 1995 and was aleady playing for the under 21s for Norway and then making 17 full international games and scoring 1 goal for his nation.
During the Norwegians leagues winter break Jan went on loan to Cercle Brugge of Belgium making a big impact before returning to his own club Brann Bergen.
In 1997 Jan came to Pools on loan, his boundless running and inch perfect passes was a pleasure to watch for Pools fans and he captured our hearts.
He returned to Brann and Pools tried to sign him on a couple of occasions but it was not to be it was a shame because the lad oozed quality.
Jan knew his days were numbered at Brann and moved after 109 games and 14 goals and an appearance in the Norwegian cup final.
Jan moved to China to play for Wankie F.C. and on his return to Europe signed for and captained CSW Bregenz of Austria making 105 appearances and 1 goal. CSW went out of business and came back as SC Bregenz Jan was made DOS and head coach and sadly getting sacked in 2007.
