Jan de Boer, the goalkeeper for Bryne FK, experienced a bittersweet start to the Norwegian league season, losing 1-0 to reigning champions Bodo/Glimt but earning man of the match honors. His remarkable performance, highlighted by a crucial penalty save, prevented a broader defeat. The post-match award, instead of standard champagne, was an unusual prize of four dozen eggs, reflecting the club's whimsical sense of recognition. This quirky accolade adds Jan to the ranks of players who have received strange rewards for their performances in football history.
"Jan de Boer was voted Bryne's best (player) against Bodo/Glimt and got to go home with the prize, which this match was four trays of eggs."
"At least De Boer has received a boost on home supplies for the sort of protein-rich breakfast that professional athletes favour."
