Norwegian football legend Åge Hareide passed away on Thursday, aged 72. Last summer, it was discovered that he had suffered from a brain tumor.
"They are proud grandchildren who find it very exciting that Erling is giving them the suit," says his son Bendik Hareide to NRK.
As a player, Åge Hareide made a total of 24 appearances for Manchester City in 1981–1982, becoming the second Norwegian in history to play in the English top flight. In Sweden, he achieved great success as a coach for Helsingborg (SM gold 1999) and Malmö FF (SM gold 2014). Hareide was also the national team captain for Norway, Denmark and Iceland.
After his two goals at home against West Ham (3-0), compatriot Haaland has scored a total of 19 goals this Premier League season, and the 25-year-old is topping the scoring charts in superior style.
