Tor André Grenersen
Norwegian association football player
Tor André Grenersen (born 11 November 1969) is a retired Norwegian football goalkeeper.
He hails from Narvik and went through the ranks of FK Mjølner. The club had a short stint on the first tier, in the 1989 Norwegian First Division (the year before the league received the name Tippeligaen). He was also capped once during his spell at Mjølner. Later, in 1991, he joined first-tier club Tromsø IL. The club won the 1996 Norwegian Football Cup and famously beat Chelsea at home in the 1997–98 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Grenersen played for Tromsø until late 1997, when he retired.
He moved back to Narvik, and has among others served as youth coach and chairman in Mjølner.

Why this record matters
The phrase “norwegian association football player” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 23, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3993546. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1969, 1989, 1991 and 1996.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
