Finn Berstad (17 July 1901 — 1 October 1982) was a Norwegian footballer.[1]
Berstad was a striker in his early career, but was later used as a central defender. Some remember Berstad for his penalty kick against Swedish team Djurgården in the summer of 1920 on Brann stadion, when he missed on a blank goal on purpose. He played for SK Brann, and won the Norwegian cup title in 1923 and 1925.
In addition he played 32 matches and scored 13 goals for the Norway national football team.[2]
