Tore André Flo
| Date of birth | 15 June 1973 |
| Place of birth | Stryn |
| Nationality | Norwegian |
| Weight | 86 kg |
| Height | 1.93 m |
| Position | Forward |
Flo is a tall, slim striker who is impressive in the air, but also very effective when dropping off opposing defenders to collect the ball in midfield and set off on mazy runs from which he is often able to create chances for his colleagues.
Having risen to prominence in Norway with Brann Bergen, he joined Chelsea for a bargain £300,000 fee in August 1997.
He had an excellent goals-per-game record at Stamford Bridge but was often a victim of the club's controversial squad-rotation policy and, in November 2000, he joined Rangers for a Scottish record fee of £12million.
He immediately endeared himself to the fans with a debut goal in the 5-1 thrashing of rivals Celtic.
Flo made his international debut against England in October 1995 and has now won more than 50 caps.
Flo joined Siena in August 2003 on a one-year contract.
He joined Leeds United in January 2007 with a contract to the end of the season that was extended to June 2008 in August 2007.
He joined Milton Keynes Dons in November 2008 with a contract to the end of the season.
