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]
