PositionMidfielder

2000-01 was a memorable season for this attack-minded midfielder, the highlight possibly being his long-awaited international debut for Norway against Northern Ireland in March.

A late developer at the highest level, his move to the English game paid dividends both for himself and the Southampton team.

Considered the fittest player on the club's books, he combines his speed with good ball control to supply perfect crosses and is also known to have a fierce shot.

He netted one of the most memorable goals in recent years at The Dell when he pushed and ran around the Everton defence to score from just outside the area.

Jo joined AFC Bournemouth in January 2008 with a contract to June 2008.
