The Norwegian came to the world as the last-born child out of three children born to the union between his parents. Alf-Inge and Gry Marita had their son in England because their family lived there at that time. In the year of his birth (2000), Erling’s father played football in the English league.

Early Life and Growing-Up Years:

For Erling, having a caring big brother in Astor brought so many boyhood emotions. This he now bundles into a perfect childhood memory. You might wonder why he wore a Man City jersey. It is because his Dad, Alf-Inge Rasdal Håland, played for that club between the years 2000 to 2003.

Erling Halland didn’t just have Astor, his older brother. He also grew up alongside an elder sister, Gabrielle Haaland. Erling enjoyed a perfect sibling relationship with them. As a child, he was so full of energy, and he also smiled a lot. Grinning like a Cheshire cat brings a lot of nostalgic reminiscence of his wonderful early days with Astor and Gabrielle.

In the year 2004, after a family disaster (explained below), Erling Haaland’s family left England. He was age three at the time his parents moved to Bryne, their hometown in Norway. This was where he spent the rest of his childhood.

Growing up at Bryne in Norway, young Haaland was a fun-loving and energetic kid who religiously played football with his friends. In addition, the young football enthusiast had interests in varied physical activities, including golf, athletics and handball.

Erling Haaland Family Background:

The Norwegian hails from a household that lives and breathes sports. Erling Haaland’s sports genes are very good as both his parents were active in athletics. In addition, he receives very good advice and follow-up from the family.

This photo displays the playing career days of Erling Haaland's father.

The playing position of Erling Haaland’s father Alf-Inge Rasdal Håland is both in defence and midfield. Shuttling between the middle and back, Haaland’s Dad scored some beautiful goals during his career. Now, watch this video of Alfie Haaland’s playing days. What an amazing footballer Erling Haaland’s Dad was.!

On the other hand, Erling Haaland’s mother, Gry Marita Braut, was a former heptathlete. To aid your understanding, the name of her sport is called Heptathlon. It is a competition for women in which each athlete competes in seven different track and field combined events.

We have this video, which will aid you in appreciating Heptathlon as a sport. Without a doubt, Erling Haaland’s mum – Gry Marita – is responsible for most of her son’s hidden sporting genes.

Erling Haaland’s Father and Roy Keane Story – The Tragic Story:

According to football experts, it was a physical attack done in cold blood. To this day, Erling Haaland’s father (Alf-Inge Haaland) has never forgiven Keane for that deadly tackle on him. The video below tells the story of Roy Keane‘s horror challenge on Alf-Inge Haaland.

Following the incident, Roy Keane could not dare – to ever look Alf-Inge Håland in the eye. Sadly, that cold-blooded revenge saw an end to Erling Haaland’s father’s career. It also led to the relocation of his family to Norway.

For many members of Erling Haaland’s family and friends, Roy Keane remains the reason why they dislike Manchester United. Also, whenever Roy Keane appears on TV as a football pundit, they reach for their remote control to change the TV channel.

Erling Haaland Family Origin:

The Norwegian is of white ethnicity and has his ancestrial roots in Bryne, a small town located in Rogaland county, Norway. Though born in England, Erling was raised at Bryne, where his family comes from.

Following Keane’s assault on Haaland’s dad, the broken leg which resulted tormented him. With no hope of continuing football, poor Alf-Inge decided to hang up his boots. An end to his father’s career forced Erling Haaland’s family to leave England for good.

In 2004, while Erling was age three, he had his first taste of Bryne, his parents’ hometown in Norway. With only 12,000 inhabitants, Bryne is mostly known mostly for football. This was where Alf-Inge (his Dad) began moulding his son’s destiny.

It was hard for Alf-Inge to deal with the continuous pains of his injury, let alone an abrupt end of his career – all caused by Roy Keane. From the moment he hung his boots, he began a quest to make his last son – to continue living his family’s footballing dreams.

Erling Haaland Education:

At the time he reached the schooling age, his Dad (Alf-Inge) enrolled him in a sports institution that suits his ilk. Young Erling, in the year 2006 (age 5), got enrolled at Bryne Fotballklubb where he received the best value of sports education.

Asides from participating in football at an early age, Haaland got interested in other sports as a child. The versatile kid, just like his mum, participated in handball, golf, track and field etc. Erling Haaland partook in Heptathlon sports while he played football.

Did you know?… As a child (aged six), Erling Haaland broke a world record. He won the award in his age category at a time – for the highest standing long jump – more than any kid in the world. To the amazement of everyone, the future football star did jump at a recorded distance of 1.63 meters in the year 2006.

Erling Haaland Football Story:

Following a successful trial, the youngster got enrolled with Bryne FK, an indoor football academy in his hometown. During this time (still at age six), Haaland made the decision to focus only on football. It was the decision of his parents to make him begin with Bryne FK owing to the fact that his Dad (Alf-Inge Håland) started playing there.

In an interview with Goal, Erling Haaland’s first coach, Alf Ingve Berntsen, talked about the boy’s early talent – from seeing him train for the first time. In his words;

I SAW ERLING FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN HE JOINED OUR INDOOR TRAINING. HAALAND’S FIRST TWO TOUCHES LED TO GOALS.

BECAUSE HE WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE OTHERS, WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED HIM UP TO PLAY WITH BOYS, A YEAR OLDER THAN HIM.

Haaland began his football adventure as a rare kind of kid. He was the type who did three things very perfectly. First, he smiled the most (all the time); secondly, he did the most exercise and thirdly (most importantly), he scored the most goals. Here is pictorial evidence of his smile.

Some say Erling was small in stature when he was a boy, but actually, he was not. The Lad was normally tall for his age, though one year younger than the others.

Advancing through the FC Bryne age ranks, Erling developed into some sort of precocious whiz kid. His unrivalled football prowess made him become so ruthless in front of goal. Erling as a boy was quite similar to who he is today: He smiles a lot, trains a lot and scores a lot. He also developed his strange character.

Learning to score by himself and not entirely from his Father:

Shockingly in his childhood interview below, Erling said he learnt how to score goals, not through his Dad but by himself. During this time (as observed below), he had begun to conceive the popular vision of becoming one of the best footballers in his country.

Throughout his stay with Bryne, Haaland was known for his shooting and finishing skills. Such brilliance got him a call to the Norwegian national youth, where he helped them win the Syrenka Cup.

Erling’s ability to always take new levels was extreme. The way he moved inside the box and his understanding of the game as a little boy was unique. Having these qualities produced astonishing goals, as observed in the video of his academy years with FC Bryne.

Thanks to his early competitive instincts, Erling recorded swift progress through the ranks of Bryne Fotballklubb and made his debut for the club’s senior team as a 15-year-old in May 2016.

Erling Haaland Biography – Road to Fame Story:

With a huge meteoric improvement in his abilities, there was no end to what the Norwegian couldn’t do. After scoring eighteen goals in fourteen matches in Bryne’s reserve team, the rising star began receiving offers from bigger clubs – both home and abroad.

Meeting Ole Gunnar Solskjær:

Haaland was first offered a trial by the German club 1899 Hoffenheim, which his parents rejected. The football prodigy’s stellar performances made talent scouts from Molde Footballklubb have him on their biggest transfer wish list.

Following a successful negotiation, the rising star eventually moved to Molde FK which at that time was managed by Ole Gunnar Solskjær. Fast-forwarding a bit, here is a photo of Halland and Ole just after the United coach helped him resolve a stunted growth problem.

Handling Growth issues:

Erling Halland observed his body to have a problem during his mid-teen years. While his teammates grew bigger and taller, he remained short and lanky. Having observed he suffered from a teenage growth spurt, his club (Molde) took a decision to help him deal with the issue. At that time, Erling’s performance was on a little decline.

How a Cook Helped Erling Haaland:

One woman, Molde’s Chef named Torbjørg Haugen AKA Tanta, singlehandedly helped him to overcome his growth problems. Employed by Ole Gunnar Solskjær, she took care of Erling’s nutrition. The boy ate like a horse and kept requesting more food (Norwegian Meatballs) to take home after training. Here is a video of how Chef Tanta helped Erling.

Within two years of the stay at Molde, Erling grew massively (8cm), even more than his body required. Put simply, he grew like he was fed with fertilizer. Thanks to Chef Tanta, there was now a huge difference between how he looked at Bryne and his new height.

The Growth Pains:

Getting taller than expected saw Erling Haaland facing a more difficult situation with his body. During this time, he began suffering from growing pains. Erling’s body stretched violently, and the pains forced his club to control his workload.

Fortunately, Molde Fotballklubb had skilled people around him who looked after him. It took the efforts of Mould’s fitness coach, Børre Steenslid, to help manage Erling’s growth and make him stay fit to compete with adult opponents.

Unlike his teammates, Haaland was absolutely willing to do whatever was required. Day in and day out, he worked out all day at a gym – to ensure he made distinguished realities out of his dreams.

Post Recovery:

Thankfully, the momentum continued as his new build got mixed with technique. Erling turned himself into a football-wise man. He began seeing things that others his age did not see. That resulted in his movement today and extreme wisdom in the box.

The truth is, Erling Haaland didn’t just grow tall, big and strong. He also developed the act of being very dangerous and football smart. Adding a superb speed to these qualities became a lethal combination. Owing to his goal-scoring brilliance, his coach Ole Gunnar Solskjær began comparing him to Romelu Lukaku.

Erling Haaland Bio – Success Story:

After resolving his growth problems, the fast-rising footballer opened his second Molde season by scoring four goals in just 21 minutes of a match. That season, Haaland received the honour of Molde’s top scorer and the Eliteserien Breakthrough of the Year award.

During that time, his family began attending to offers abroad – with a host of top European clubs begging for his signature. It might interest you to know that Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United – where his Dad played – were among the first English clubs that offered to sign him.

The Big Decision:

The way Haaland figured it, leaving his family in Norway for a middle-scale club would translate to a rise in his value. Thus, he ignored offers from the super big clubs and signed for FC Red Bull Salzburg, which – to all intents and purposes – had a well-suited environment for his turning point to fame.

As a matter of fact, Erling opened his Red Bull Salzburg account by scoring hat-tricks. That feat projected him from Norway’s U19 to U20. To start with the striker’s international heroics, he helped Norway’s U20 team achieve their biggest win in history. Did you know?.. Erling scored nine times in their 12-0 victory over Honduras in May 2019.

After his national heroics, he was simply no limit to what Haaland could achieve for both club and country. As if that wasn’t enough, Erling went on to record two more hat-tricks in the Austrian Bundesliga. He also formed a formidable strike partnership with Patson Daka.

Haaland’s hat-trick spree gained worldwide recognition three days later when he scored thrice (another hat-trick) in his UEFA champions league debut for Genk. That made him become the third youngest person to score a hat-trick in a UEFA champions league match.

Still, in that Champions League season, Haaland recorded a goal against Liverpool. Again, further two goals against Napoli. It was at this time that Football World got to know that a future GOAT had arrived.

Patson Daka, Hwang Hee-chan, Takumi Minamino and Haaland’s departure from Red Bull Salzburg opened doors for other footballers to shine in their positions. The likes of Noah Okafor, Chukwubuike Adamu and Karim Adeyemi became the men that mattered later.

Borussia Dortmund Story:

Halland’s Red Bull Salzburg rise saw the beginning of a transfer battle among several European giants. Among all clubs, Borussia Dortmund edged out as they confirmed the signing of Haaland.

The master of hat-tricks didn’t disappoint as he scored three goals on his Bundesliga debut. Haaland’s goalscoring sensation continued as he did breaks several Bundesliga records. Thanks to a meteoric German rise, the Norwegian striker went on to become the world’s most wanted superstar.

At the time of writing Erling Haaland’s Biography, he has become a role model for a whole generation of aspiring footballers in his fatherland, Norway. Not just in Bryne, where his family comes from, so many youths in Norway wants to follow in his footstep.

Without a doubt, we soccer fans are on the verge of seeing another player blossoming his way into taking over from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the next football GOAT.

Just like Kylian Mbappe, Erling Halland is indeed among the best in the endless production line of forwards coming out of Europe. The rest, as we say of his Bio, is now history.

Erling Haaland Love Life – Does he have a Girlfriend or Wife?

From his teenage years, the Norwegian has been in love with someone. Unfortunately, Erling Haaland broke up with his girlfriend during the last quarter of 2018. It happened after he told her some painful, heartbreaking words.

Only one man knows what happened between the two love birds. His name is Stanislav Macek, a youth coach who worked with Haaland at Red Bull Salzburg. Now, let us tell you what really transpired between Haaland and his ex-girlfriend.

According to Stanislav Macek, Erling Haaland’s girlfriend is a Norwegian. Haaland met her while playing for Molde – and they began dating. Because of her education, she could not relocate with him to Austrian at the time he began playing with FC Red Bull Salzburg.

While trying to settle with his new club, Erling Haaland’s girlfriend came to visit. Sadly, she met a different person than her boyfriend. He began an open conversation about what he considers his only priority – Football. After the breakup, Erling Haaland’s girlfriend let Austria a few days later.

Life after Relationship Breakup:

At the time of writing Erling Haaland’s Bio, the Norwegian is yet to provide insight into the present status of his relationship. Most recently, facts emerged about who the footballer sleeps with.

Did you know?… the closest we got to know about Earling Haaland’s girlfriend was when he described a hat-trick gift ball as his lover and companion for the night.

So far, since the start of his senior career, he told a sports journalist that he had gotten five secret girlfriends. They represent the hat tricks he has scored, and Erling said they are the key to his form. In fact, he lies in bed with his hat-trick balls, looks at them every day and proclaims they make him feel good.

Not taking a Girlfriend Home:

Did you know?… After missing a hat-trick against Club Brugge on the 4th of November 2020, Haaland spoke with BTSports about not going to have a new girlfriend to sleep with that night. Here is a piece of video evidence.

For the above explanation, it goes without saying that Haaland – who has no real girlfriend, wife, daughter(s) or sons (s) out of wedlock – is just focused on one thing. That is, perfecting his thrilling act of scoring goals. It is only a matter of time before he gets a real girlfriend/wife to be or makes his love life public.
