Roar Stokke (born 22 August 1959) is a former football player, coach and commentator, from Norway.
In the mid-1980s he played for Strindheim IL.[1] Ahead of the 1988 season he left for Nardo FK.[2] In 1993, he was playing head coach of Nardo.[3] In 1994 Nardo barely missed promotion to the Norwegian Premier League, marking the heyday of the club's history.[4] Stokke was offered the position as head coach of Tromsdalen UIL, but refused.[5] However, he resigned from Nardo in September 1995 after disagreements with the board of directors.[6]
He was later football commentator in the radio station P4 Radio Hele Norge, and also worked as key account manager in DFDS Tollpost. When Knut Theodor Gleditsch died, he left a vacant seat as the main football commentator of TV 3, which Stokke came to fill. TV3 decided to "brand" the relatively unknown Stokke as a new football profile.[7] Every year Roar comment the matches in the Champions League for the Norwegian channel viasat, and is famous for his extraordinary quotes.
