Marianne Iren Pettersen (born 12 April 1975 in Oslo) is a Norwegian footballer. She was a forward for the club Asker, whom she joined from Gjelleråsen after the 1996 season, and became the top scorer with 36 goals in the 1998 season of 18 matches. For the Norwegian national team, she debuted in 1994, scoring against Italy. Overall, she scored 66 goals in 98 international matches. She retired in 2003, after competing in the 1996 and 2000 Summer Olympics.[1]
In 2007, she rejoined Asker as the assistant trainer and began playing again, as a reserve striker. On 19 May the same year she took the record as the highest scorer in the elite Norwegian league, the Toppserien, with 147 goals to that date.
Fulham
Pettersen rejected offers from American clubs to join Fulham Ladies, the only professional women's club in Europe, in January 2001. On her debut she scored a hat-trick in an 8–0 destruction of Manchester City in the fourth round of the FA Women's Cup.[2] Later in 2001, Pettersen was then appointed as new captain.[3] Pettersen would also be nominated for FIFA World Player of the Year award.[4]
