PROFILE
John Arne Riise became Liverpool's first signing during the 2001 summer break when
he completed a 4 million move from Monaco.
In his debut season Riise quickly settled and his first goal for the Reds couldn't
have been more dramatic, as he scored the first in a 3-2 win over Bayern Munich to help
Liverpool win the Super Cup at his old ground in Monaco!
Another highlight was his stunning free-kick in the 3-1 win over Manchester United
at Anfield in November which left the Kop asking 'How did he score that goal!'
Riise also won an award back home in his native Norway when he was named 'Athlete
of the Year 2001'.
Riise scored eight goals in his first season at Anfield, including two terrific
strikes on the last day of the season 5-0 win over Ipswich at Anfield.
He had a largely disappointing 2003/04 season and didn't score a goal from 35 games
played.
Riise had been tipped to join Fulham and link up again with former manager Jean
Tigana, but Gerard Houllier persuaded the Norwegian under-21 international to instead make
the move to Anfield.
A talented left sided player, Riise can operate in both defence and midfield.
A championship winner in France with Monaco, Riise is hoping to enjoy a successful
career at Anfield and establish himself in both his club and country's long term plans.
Riise was rewarded with a new contract extension in the summer of 2002 which ties
him to Anfield until 2007.

Transferred from 2nd division side Aalesund FK (Norway) to
Monaco in summer 1998 for 700,000 pounds
