Bernt Nikolai Hulsker (born 9 September 1977) is a Norwegian retired footballer as well as author, comedian, radio host,[1] and betting ambassador.[2] He was born in Den Haag, but grew up in Vestnes, Norway.
Hulsker participates in the football program "Foppall" on VGTV.[3] He also has his own footballpodcast on iTunes "Foppall with Bernt Hulsker", that immediately after release ended up on the iTunes leaderboard in Norway and stayed there ever since.
He became the center of media attention when in 2015, during the broadcast of draw for the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying play-offs, upon Norway being paired with Hungary, he exclaimed "Drømlottning!" ("Dream pick!") while pounding the desk.[4] Norway would lose both playoff matches, and at the start of the tournament, Hulsker publicly apologized to Hungary through ambassador Anna Sikó and pledged to support the Hungarian team.[5][6]
