Dagfinn Enerly

Enerly grew up in Ammerud on Oslo's east side, and started his career for local clubs Grorud and later Grei. He then went to the Oslo-club Skeid and with them got his debut in the Norwegian Premier League in 1996. Enerly usually played on the right wing. His key attributes as a player were good pace, good technique and an excellent long-range shot. When Skeid were relegated in 1997, he went to Moss, where he played for three seasons before being signed by champions Rosenborg. Enerly spent three and a half seasons in Rosenborg, winning the League three times. After getting limited playing time in his final season at Rosenborg, he joined Fredrikstad halfway through the 2004 season, where his experience quickly made him an important player and he became team captain.

Neck injury and retirement

On 29 October 2005, in the last round of the 2005 season, Fredrikstad faced league leaders Start, away in Kristiansand struggling to avoid relegation. Fredrikstad won the match 3–1, which meant that Fredrikstad stayed up. However, just five minutes into the game, Enerly collided with a teammate, and fell to the ground with his teammate falling on top of him. Enerly was unable to get up or even move a muscle, and medical personnel rushed to his aid carried him off on a stretcher, wearing a neck brace. Later that evening it was announced that Enerly, who had been sent to Oslo's Ullevål Hospital for surgery, had broken his neck and was quadriplegic. The news of the injury shocked…

Enerly made two appearances for the Norway national team, the first in a 1996 friendly against Georgia (as substitute for Jan Åge Fjørtoft), and the second in a 2001 friendly against South Korea. He was also a national team regular in football tennis.
