Bernt Nikolai Hulsker (born 9 September 1977) is a retired Norwegian footballer as well as author, comedian, radio host,[1] and betting ambassador[2]
He was born in Den Haag, but grew up in Vestnes. He was a powerful forward known for his temperament and sleazy comments on the field. He debuted in the Norwegian premier league in 1999 for Molde FK. He played 114 Norwegian premiere league games before he signed for Vålerenga in 2005, where he helped the team winning the league title. Except Vålerenga and Stabæk, Husker scored league goals for all the clubs he played for.
Hulsker participates in the football program "Foppall" on VGTV.[3] He also has his own footballpodcast on iTunes "Foppall with Bernt Husker", that immediately after release ended up on the iTunes leaderboard in Norway and stayed there ever since.
He became the center of media attention when in 2015, during the broadcast of draw for the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying play-offs, upon Norway being paired with Hungary, he exclaimed "Drømlottning!" ("Dream pick!") while pounding the desk.[4] Norway would lose both playoff matches, and at the start of the tournament, Hulsker publicly apologized to Hungary through ambassador Anna Sikó and pledged to support the Hungarian team.[5][6]
