Notes - Ultra rare player shirt believed to have been issued to Hjelde for the Champions League Group B match against Blackburn Rovers, played at the Lerkendal Stadion on 27th September 1995. The Troillongan had suffered a 3-1 loss to Legia Warsaw in Poland last time out and looked to kick-start their European campaign here. Goals from Kalle Løken and Ståle Stensaas gave them a 2-1 win over the Premier League Champions. Hjelde was an unused substitute for the match and didn't feature in the Champions League this season as the side narrowly missed out on a place in the Quarter-Finals but retained their Tippeligaen title. He stayed with the side until 1997 when he joined English side Nottingham Forest.
