Gunnar Garfors (ex trialist)

Has now written a book after becoming the youngest man to visit all 198 world countries.

I had no idea, but in the book he talks about his unsuccessful footballing career - he played in the Norwegian second division and had 'unsuccessful trials with English club Plymouth Argyle'. A neat little connection in there!

Anyone remember the name or seen him? Can't quite work out who the manager might have been but have a feeling it could have been Sturrock Mk 1.

The book is called '198'.

How does he get a job like that then? Country hopping, nice work if u can get it.

First man to do it as a hobby - so he's got a job but does it when he's not working apparently.

He is Norwegian though, which explains why he can actually afford to fund it.

Guffaw or garfors ........ Lol

I don't remember him.

From his wiki page-
