Career

After his transfer to Sandefjord Fotball in 2007, a knee injury stopped him from playing. Sandefjord claims that Raouls previous club, Malmö FF, withheld information about this injury when the transfer took place.

While playing in Norway he was dubbed Røde Raoul (Red Raoul) by the tabloid media due to his many red cards. [7]
