12.09.1990. Faroes-Austria 1:0 (Faroese National Anthem)In September 12th, 1990 the National team from tiny Faroe Islands, the 18 rocky island archipelago ancient small Nordic nation having their home far away in North Atlantic, with total population of less than 50.000 and no natural grass pitch in the whole country, combined only by amateurs, made their debut in international soccer competiton. Only two years previously, the Faroes became full members of FIFA and had played 4 friendly internationals so far, beating Canada 1-0, losing to the same opponent and to Iceland twice.In Swedish town of Landskrona the Faroes faced Austria, fresh from their World cup participation in Italy and several European football stars in the team, including young prospect Andi Herzog, who went to play more games for Austria than any other player, and the legendary striker Toni Polster, the leading goalscorer in the history of Austrian national team.

It has been an autonomous province of the Kingdom of Denmark since 1948, but now there is increasing demand in the Faroe Islands for more. Over the years the Faroese have taken control of most matters except defence, foreign affairs and the legal system. But could that be about to change? Faroes debate...

The Faroes surprised their snubbish opponents, who claimed before the game the score would be 10:0 to Austria, with uncompromising, respectless and sometimes even agrerssive play. Here Allan Mørkøre, the 18 years old debutant, gets a yellow card for foul on Michael Konsel, the Austrian custodian Euro-92. Faroes -...
Jens Martin Knudsen, the Faroese keeper and harbour truck driver, stunned everyone with his unusual looks. The 23 years old wore a white bobble hat, which became symbol of Faroese footballing identity. Here Jens Martin saves his goal after a shot from Andreas Reisinger Euro-92. Faroes -...

The Austrians looked more and more desperate to open the score. Although they had much of posession, Austria failed to create clear goal opportunities. When half-time whistle blew, the score amazingly still was goaless... Euro-92. Faroes -...
September 12th, 1990. Landskrona, Sweden. Itrottsplass stadium. Arguably the biggest ever sensation in the history of the people's game is about to be born...It's 61st minute of the Euro-92 qualifying between amateurs of Faroes and professionals of Austria. It's still goalless.Finally, Austrians got their golden opportunity to kill the excitement all around. After the long cross by Andreas Herzog, Faroese goalie Jens Martin Knudsen only was able to punch the ball away straight at the feet of Austrian defender Kurt Russ, placed perfectly just outside the penalty area. With an empty goal to aim at, his shot clipped the outside of post.Russ had hardly risen from beating the ground in frustration when Faroese N7, the elegant Torkil Nielsen, clearly the best player of the game, dribbled and fought his way through the Austrian defence...The 26 years old timber salesman was an exceptional sporting person. Although playing for a 2nd division club, SÍF from his home village of Sandavágur, population only 700, he was widely regarded in his own country as one of the best footballers. But apart from that, Torkil was a talented chess player and a member of National chess team. Just like Norwegian international striker and chess grandmaster Simen Agdestein at the same period, Torkil combined succesfully two sporting careers. Already in 1982, aged only 18, he represented Faroes in Chess Olympics in Lüzern, Switzerland, which was followed by two participations in OL in Saloniki, Greece, in 1984 and 1988. Three times - in 1984, 1986 and 1988 - Torkil won the Faroese chess title for single players.It was also Torkil Nielsen, who made the first ever Faroese goal in a FIFA-registered match, scoring in 1-0 friendly victory against Canada in April of 1989.That particular week was in every way special for this pleasant and modest young man from Western Faroe island of Vágar. Only 48 hours before the game, while in Landskrona, Torkil learned that his girlfriend, Jana Egilstoft, gave birth to their first child, a daugther. The young father could of course not attend her birth because of such an important game for his little country....Torkil saved a desperate back tackle by Robert Pecl. Michael Konsel, the Austrian keeper, came out to meet the Faroese genius but in vain. A hard, low, left-foot shot rocketed into the back of the net... Euro-92. Faroes -...

The song is popular in the Faroe islands it is called Á mønu hjalsins stari. I've arranged it for guitar. Threw in some Chet Faroes folk song
This song is called Líttli fitti Sjúrður and was written and recorded by Jógvan Telling. I grew up listenning to this wonderful melody and now I have arranged it for the fingerpicking style. It fits like a glow as a Chet style arrangement. Jógvan Telling is a great faroes guitar player who was the one who taught my to play some of my first fingerpicking stuff. Not boomchic though or palm muted more folk style fingerpicking. He taught me a folk version of Freight Train. We are talking 1987'. Faroes country song

As 2nd half started, the Faroese got more and more confident. They tried to attack in every single possibility. Their most dangerous player was Torkil Nielsen. Here, he tried to go through the Austrian defence but was cynically fouled by Micheal Streiter. The latter escaped with yellow card. But Torkil's moment of glory was just a few minutes away...
