Big centre-forward Sperrevik impressed Pools manager Chris Turner during a preseason tour of Norway. He was invited to join Pools on a short-term contract in an effort to see if he could adjust to the demands of English lower division football. Sperrevik ultimately didn`t make the grade, but he did manage one goal before returning to his native Norway. Despite limited English, he also managed the impressive feat of being sent off for abusive language!
