Cato Erstad (born 31 January 1964) is a Norwegian footballer.
Football career
[edit]Erstad played on the fourth tier for Hamar IL before joining Hamarkameratene in 1982. He made his senior debut for Hamkam in April 1982, scoring in his debut against Moss.[1] He played in one match for the Norway national football team in 1987.[2]
After the 1994 season, he left Hamkam and signed for fellow Mjøsa club Gjøvik-Lyn, who harbored ambitions to play on the second tier by 1998.[3][4] He held the record in Hamkam for most games played, 506 matches across all competitions.[5]
Ahead of the 1996 season he was announced as player-manager of Vang FL, the club having suffered relegation from the 1995 3. divisjon.[6] Erstad stated that 90% of the player base changed from the previous season to the next.[7]
After Erstad steered Vang to win re-promotion to the 1997 3. divisjon, the coach went on to Hamkam ahead of the 1997 season, where he would coach the B team.[8] After Hamkam's manager Ivar Hoff left in May 1997, Erstad took on the role as assistant manager.[9] Stein Kollshaugen took over Erstad's old job. In June 1998, both were relieved of their positions.[10]
Bandy
[edit]Erstad also played bandy for Hamar IL, and captained the boys' national team.[11]
