Lars Bakkerud (born 14 October 1974) is a retired Norwegian football midfielder.
A youth player in Bergen Nord FK, he was among others offered a scholarship from a university in Colorado.[1] He represented Norway as a youth international.[2] In 1992 he joined the largest club in Bergen, SK Brann.[3] He appeared for the first team from 1995 on, and following a 1995 season with ample playing opportunities he featured more scarcely in 1996 and 1997 and not at all in 1998.[2]
In late July 1998 a quintet was axed from the Brann squad, being demoted to the junior team lest they found another club: Geir Hasund, Eirik Skjælaaen, Gunnar Norebø, Morten Pettersen and André Herfindal.[4] A week later Skjælaaen signed for FK Haugesund on loan.[5] After a lengthy contract dispute also involving the players' trade union, Skjælaaen was finally released in April 1999 and commenced a long stint in Fyllingen.[6][7]
