What is alf-inge haaland?

Alf-Inge Haaland is a retired Norwegian footballer who played as a defender. He was born on November 23, 1972, in Stavanger, Norway. Haaland started his professional career at the Norwegian club Bryne FK before moving to English club Nottingham Forest in 1993.

Haaland became best known for his time playing for Leeds United and Manchester City in the Premier League. While at Leeds United, he formed a strong defensive partnership with Rio Ferdinand and played a key role in the team's success during the late 1990s.

One of the most infamous moments in Haaland's career came in a match between Manchester United and Manchester City in 2001 when he suffered a career-ending injury after a controversial tackle from United's Roy Keane. This incident led to a prolonged feud between the two players, with Keane admitting in his autobiography that he intended to harm Haaland in retaliation for a previous incident.

After retiring from professional football, Haaland has worked as a football agent and has been involved in managing his son, Erling Haaland's career. Erling has become one of the most sought-after young talents in European football, playing for clubs like Borussia Dortmund and the Norwegian national team.
