John Alieu Carew (born 5 September 1979) is a Norwegian actor and former professional footballer who played as a forward. He was capped 91 times and scored 24 goals for the Norway national team.[3]
As of 2023, he has been hired until the end of 2024 at Norwegian Football Federation where he will be working with children and youth;[4] the president of the federation hopes that Carew will have permission to work in the position, while serving his prison sentence with[5] an electronic ankle tag.[6]
