*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Paal Christian Alsaker (born 6 November 1973) is a retired Norwegian football midfielder.

Hailing from the island Stord, he grew up in the club Solid. [1] Until 1993 he played for Stord, joining Solid in the autumn and then Vard ahead of the 1994 1. divisjon season. [2] In 1996 he returned to Solid, then signed for Trott in 1997. [3] Coming in contact with the agent Terje Simonsen, he trialled unsuccessfully with Dunfermline and later secured a move to Estonian football. While here he was also loaned out to English second-tier club Stockport County for a less fruitful spell. He nonetheless wanted to move away from the Estonian league, and in 1999 he secured a contract with Norwegian sovereigns Rosenborg. However, after only four league games he again moved abroad in the summer of 1999, to Greek Ionikos. Ahead of the 2000 season he returned to Norway and Strømsgodset from Drammen, his most stable outfit where he stayed for four seasons. [4] [5]

After a tenure near home in 2004, in FK Haugesund, he settled in Eastern Norway and played seven seasons for Notodden FK interrupted by one season in Mjøndalen IF, then hobby-level football for Drammen FK, SBK Skiold and Åskollen FK. [6]

Stord Sunnhordland Fotballklubb was an association football club located in Leirvik, Stord, Norway. It was founded in late 2002 as a cooperation between the football sections of Leirvik's local multi-sports club Stord IL and lower-division Moster IL. The club was named Stord/Moster FK until 2006. Two investors, football agent Terje Simonsen and professional footballer Kjetil Løvvik, were behind the merger. It was founded to create one large club in the Sunnhordland region, to attract support behind the club. Critics claimed that the investors were mainly looking to develop players to sell for cash. Top goalscorer the first season was Kjetil Løvvik himself, who quit a professional career to play for the club. Stord/Moster fared well on the football field; they won their Third Division group twice in a row, and on the second occasion they gained promotion through playoff. They then played two seasons in the Second Division. Their biggest talent was Christian Brink who went on to higher levels of football.
