'''Trygve Johannessen''' (born 11 January 1953) is a Norwegian former professional [[Association football|footballer]] who played as a [[forward (association football)|forward]]. He is best known for his time at [[Viking FK|Viking]], with whom he won four [[Norwegian Premier League|league titles]] and one [[Norwegian Football Cup|cup]] between 1974 and 1982. He scored a total of 181 goals in 312 games for Viking (these numbers include friendlies).

==Career== Johannessen had many youth caps when he moved from [[Florvåg IF]] to Viking in the summer of 1974. Viking paid somewhat less than {{NOK|40,000}} for the player, at a time when money was seen as taboo in Norwegian football. Johannessen played well to hold his place in the team, and was for many years Viking's top scorer. He became [[Norwegian football top scorers|top goalscorer]] in the first division with 17 goals in 1977 and 11 goals in 1982.

After a couple of seasons in the reserves at Viking, Johannessen was sold to neighbours [[FK Vidar|Vidar]] in 1981. Here he was an unrivalled success. In the course of a season, he scored 56 goals and helped Vidar to promotion to the Second Division. In 1982, he returned to Viking. He won his fifth title with the club and together with [[Hamarkameratene|Ham-Kam]]'s [[Tor Arne Granerud]] he was top scorer with eleven goals.

In 1983, he returned to Vidar again, where he stayed for two seasons. Over his three seasons with Vidar, Johannessen played 109 games and scored 124 goals (including friendlies). In his first ten years of his career, Johannessen scored a total of 305 goals for the two [[Stavanger]] clubs. In 1985, he played one season for [[SK Brann|Brann]] and scored eleven league goals.

Johannessen finished his football career in Florvåg IF, where he started it. He later became manager of many local clubs, such as Florvåg, [[Løv-Ham Fotball|Løv-Ham]], [[Follese FK]] and [[Askøy FK]].

Johannessen won five caps and seven youth caps. He made his international debut with the [[Norway national football team|Norway national team]] against the [[Soviet Union national football team|Soviet Union]] on 24 September 1975. His other caps were Olympic qualifying matches in 1979.
