Steve and Crew Plays Football in Norway

Posted by Martin on June 29, 2005 @ 20:25

While the rest of the band took a day off before the second Norway show on June 29, Steve Harris, Adrian Smith, Janick Gers, Nicko McBrain and the Maiden crew played football against a team of Norwegian retired footballers, rockers and ski-jumpers. The Maiden camp lost the game 1-8 after a collapse in the second half but nevertheless Steve says it was an enjoyable game.

Go here for pictures, a video and a full report. Part of it has kindly been translated by mortis:

*IRON MAIDEN CRUSHED Iron Maiden got a taste of their own medicin when a team of norwegian stars served heavy metal on the pitch.

VALLE HOVIN (TV2 Nettavisen): The hardrockers of Iron Maiden and their crew had no chance against the norwegian team in the friendly-match at Valle Hovin.

With a team put together of old national-team heroes and other celebrities, the Norwegians had no difficulties with beating the guests.

Kjell-Roar Kaasa was top-scorer with three strikes, while Steve Harris was Iron Maidens best player by far. *
