Throughout a successful 13 year career, Norway’s John Carew has left his mark on the international world of football. Following retirement from the sport, the much loved personality is now pursuing a career in acting that has already seen him perform in two feature films that were released in summer 2014. Now living between London, Miami and Oslo, John is a committed Christian and dedicated contributor to youth and hospital charities both in the UK and Norway and has also set up his own charitable foundation in Gambia.

On top of that, he also turned out 91 times for his country, Norway (as well as playing for them at all youth levels before that and being the first ever black player to turn out for the country), and as such is the fifth highest capped player of all time.
