REMEMBER THEM? THE PLAYERS

Basically, I have been waiting for an excuse to blog about these boys. And now I have one!

Back in the summer of 2006, five Norwegian footballers were asked to, well, be in a boy band for a program called Soccer Against Crime. The band was called The Players and the five footballers were: Kristofer Hæstad, Raymond Kvisvik, Morten Gamst Pedersen, Freddy dos Santos, and Øyvind Svenning. The song they sang was called "This Is For Real" and I've included it here so it will be permanently stuck in your head.



There was also possibly one of the best boy band videos ever and yes, it did include a swimming pool and singing while wet. Unfortunately, I've been unable to dig it up. So, instead, you get these pictures. And a copy of the song if you simply must have it on your iPod.

Fun fact: A bunch(?) of fans in England have created a myspace to express their love for Morten. There's at least one picture and several songs. Scary or awesome? You decide.
