Norway's men's team received a visit from the country's anti-doping agency this week, but while this is a usual occurrence in football, what made this instance remarkable was the players they asked to test.

The list of players required to provide a urine sample included Manchester City's Erling Haaland, but also Jorgen Juve and Einar Gundersen -- two of Norway's record goal scorers, but neither is alive. Juve died in 1983 and Gundersen died in 1962.
