He made a comeback for Sogndal in 2010.

Career

Flo was born in Flo, Stryn. His most successful spell was in AGF,[1] where he won the Danish Cup in 1996. The same year AGF finished second in the League – behind eventual champions Brøndby. AGF also won a bronze medal in the "Flo-era". Flo is still remembered in Aarhus as one of the best AGF players ever.[2] In 2008, when Flo first announced his retirement, he returned to Aarhus for a final tribute in the half time break.[3]

He was a member of the Norwegian squad at the 1998 FIFA World Cup in which he also scored in the tie against Scotland, and is a cousin of fellow footballers Jostein Flo, Tore André Flo and Jarle Flo. Håvard Flo's nephew Per Egil Flo also plays for Sogndal. His last match was in the second leg play-off against Aalesunds. Sogndal lost 7–2 on aggregate, but he scored the only Sogndal goal away and got applause even from the Aalesund fans.[citation needed]

Flo was a large and physically strong player, who was also renowned for having a good touch, in spite of his size.[citation needed]
