Kjell Moe (27 October 1909 – 8 December 1999) was a Norwegian

Norwegian Cup. He was capped twice and scored one goal for Norway
in 1945; aged 35 at the time he is the oldest player to make his debut for the Norwegian national team.

Football career

Moe was born in

Norwegian Cup in 1940 where Skeid was beaten in the final; a journalist from Morgenbladet claimed that Moe was one of Fredrikstad's best players in the final.[1]

During the

Football Association of Norway was to select a national team squad for the first international match after the war, they decided to primarily call-up players from the reigning Norwegian champions, Fredrikstad.[2] Norway started the match against Denmark on 26 August 1945, which was dubbed "the independence match", with six Fredrikstad-players with four of them Moe, Thorleif Larsen, Bjørn Spydevold and Reidar Olsen making their international debut.[1] Aged 35 years and 305 days, Moe is the oldest player to make his debut for the Norwegian national team, while Olsen is the second-oldest debutant for Norway.[3] Moe scored one goal in his debut, which Denmark won 4–2. He also played Norway's next match, which Denmark won 5–1 and this was his last international match.[2]

Moe was injured in the first match of the

Lyn, and was unable to play the rematch in Sarpsborg which Lyn won. The injury also ended his football career.[1]

Personal life

His brothers Sten and Sverre had been key players for Fredrikstad for several years when Kjell joined the team in 1938, and a fourth brother, Thorleif, played for the team before he emigrated to the United States in 1923. Sverre's son Finn did also play for Fredrikstad' first team.[4]

Moe died in 1999.[1]
