According to Enersen, the spell in Stord "was as big as a failure can get. What I experienced in that club, I wouldn't wish upon my greatest enemy".

The teaching actually took place in ], not ], which caused Enersen to give up and move back to Stavanger. He would commute to Stord to play only during the weekends.

Svein Enersen (born 12 February 1968) is a Norwegian newspaper editor and retired football defender. He played in the highest Norwegian league for Viking, Kongsvinger and Start, and the second highest league for Viking, Vidar, Moss and Bryne. A journeyman, he also spent time in Stord IL.

Early career

Enersen played youth football for Nærbø IL and a short time for Bryne FK before joining Viking FK.

He played 35 games for Viking FK in the Norwegian First Division (highest tier) of 1985 and 1986. During that time he also played twice for Norway U-17, four times for Norway U-20 and once for Norway U-21. At the end of 1986, Viking were relegated to the second tier, where Enersen continued his career. His playing style was described as that of "ball winner" and "labourer" in central midfield. During the winter of 1986–87, Enersen also played handball on the youth team of Viking HK.

Enersen was not content with his role in Viking. After sitting on the bench throughout the 1987 season opener against Varegg, Enersen reportedly issued an ultimatum: if he did not play the next match, he would leave the club. He also met IK Start for "informal" transfer talks. Enersen wanted to leave the club after the season, contacted the other Stavanger-based club on the second tier, FK Vidar, and came to an agreement to join the club. Viking demanded 170,000 kr–175,000 for the player, a fee that was disputed by Vidar. Viking's chairman also claimed that the transfer was a breach of contract by Enersen. Enersen countered with numerous claims of Viking treating him unfairly and "childishly".

Journeyman career

FK Vidar started the 1988 1. divisjon in a promising manner, but lost out on promotion in the last round—with Viking clinching the promotion. Enersen had thought he had joined the better Stavanger team, but in hindsight he saw his error in abandoning Viking.

After serving as team captain of Vidar in 1989, it became clear that Enersen was looking for a new club. Start, Djerv 1919, Molde and Brann were mentioned as possible clubs, but Enersen chose Stord IL.

According to Enersen, the spell in Stord "was as big as a failure can get. What I experienced in that club, I wouldn't wish upon my greatest enemy". The main issue was that the amateur club would help Enersen enrol at the local college (what later became Stord/Haugesund University College). The teaching actually took place in Haugesund, not Stord, which caused Enersen to give up and move back to Stavanger. He would commute to Stord to play only during the weekends. (Molde, Djerv 1919, Sunndal) In 1991 he left Western Norway for the first time and signed for Moss FK, residing at Jeløya for the time being. The connection to Moss came about as Enersen's manager in Vidar, Mike Speight, had managed Moss as well. Enersen later complained about the same thing happening in Moss; he had to attend a school in Halden.

team captain In September 1991, Enersen was announced as a new Bryne player from 1992. His role as a journeyman had given him a bit of a frayed reputation, but the managing director of Bryne FK stated: "We have commissioned an assessment from Kjell Schou Andreassen, who thinks that we would be mad, had we not signed a contract with Svein Enersen if he wants to join Bryne".

In the winter of 1993–94, there were talks about Enersen rejoining Viking, with some Viking players reportedly supporting the idea, but the board did not want Enersen.

Enersen instead returned to the highest tier for Kongsvinger IL, for whom he played 21 out of 22 league games. Dagbladet proclaimed Enersen as "man of the match" on three occasions during the spring of 1994. Glåmdalen heled Enersen as the third best Kongsvinger player in 1994. 

(moved home?)

In September 1994, he trained with Viking for a couple of weeks, wanting a contract. Viking chose not to sign the player, citing that he would not "improve the team" and that his performance in Kongsvinger had been "up and down". In late September 1994 he was instead announced as playing assistant manager for Bryne, starting in 1995.

During the second spell in Bryne he served as captain. Among others, he helped eliminate Viking from the 1995 Norwegian Football Cup. In October 1995, Enersen announced his wish to play for IK Start from 1996. He considered moving and settling in the Kristiansand region, as his cohabitant was originally from Søgne. Enersen also wanted to return to the Eliteserien.

The transfer went through, and Start's manager was delighted with Enersen's "tough" playing style and his heading abilities. Enersen was considered as a replacement of Claus Eftevaag in central defence. Start performed badly in 1996, and changed managers. As a curiosity, Enersen scored an own goal from 22 metres against Lillestrøm. Eventually, conflict arose. Enersen claimed that Start was in breach of contract, and contacted the players' union lawyer. According to Enersen, Start had committed to finding Enersen an entry-level position in the regional newspaper Fædrelandsvennen. The newspaper denied that such a deal existed. In December 1996, it was reported that Enersen cancelled his contract, and considered retiring from football. The severance of ties with Start was "definitive and final", Enersen said, though he was still under contract. Bryne agreed to take the player back for a transfer fee of 190,000 kr.

On 8 May 1997, Bryne suffered a big loss at the hands of Byåsen, and Enersen felt hampered by an ankle injury. He never returned on the field, and was unceremoniously cut from Bryne's squad. Enersen retired after the failed 1997 season.

Post-football career

In late 1997, after retiring from football, he was hired as a sports journalist in Rogalands Avis. He was later hired in the same capacity in Fædrelandsvennen, and finally settled in Søgne. After 13 years in Fædrelandsvennen, where he advanced to sports editor, Enersen was hired in Polaris Media/Schibsted in 2012. He worked as a coordinator of syndicated sports news, but already in the spring of 2012 he was headhunted as the new editor-in-chief of Mandal-based local newspaper Lindesnes Avis. Also, in the spring of 2010 he had briefly worked as a tourism coordinator in Setesdal, but regretted and gave notice to leave after one month.

In late 2013 he announced another job change, this time becoming communications adviser in Agder Police District. He also took a part-time position as player developer in Søgne FK.
