Excerpt: Bente Nordby (born 23 July 1974) is a former Norwegian football goalkeeper, who last played for Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon, France. She played with the Norwegian Women's National Football Team from 1991 to 2007. Nordby is the second-most capped player ever for Norway with 172 international appearances. Only Hege Riise has more, with 188. She appeared in the first five FIFA Women's World Cups, an achievement that only U.S. player Kristine Lilly shares. Nordby is also the second most-capped international women's goalkeeper of all time. On 24 January 2008 Nordby announced her retirement from the national team. A native of Gjovik, Bente Nordby began her club career with Raufoss/Vind. She later joined SK Sprint-Jeloy of Norway's Toppserien where she played until the end of the 1995 season. Ahead of the 1996 season, the team Sprint-Jeloy was replaced by Athene Moss, where she played until 2000. Nordby, paired with fellow Norwegian Hege Riise, was the first pick in the 30 October 2000 WUSA Foreign Player Allocation Draft, having been chosen by the Carolina Courage. Nordby played the first half of the 2001 season for the Courage, but was later traded to the San Diego Spirit. In July 2001, the Spirit released Nordby due to the league's salary cap. In total, she played 14 matches of a 21-match season for the two clubs, earning a 1.73 Goals Against Average for the season. After returning to Norway, Nordby joined Kolbotn in 2002, where she went on to win the Norwegian league that same year. She continued to play with Kolbotn until the end of the 2004 season. She then signed with Asker FK in December 2005. While playing with Asker, she won the Norwegian Cup in 2005, her first and only year with the club. In early 2006, Nordby signed a 2-year contract with Djurgarden/Alvsjo in Sweden's Damallsvenskan league. In 2007, Nordby won the Damallsvenskan Goalkeeper of the Year Award. On 27 November 2007, it was announced that Nordby would be signing an 18-month contract with Olympique L
