Why Gro Espeseth ranks #196 in Football
Gro Espeseth ranks 196th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 394th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 80, Honours 90, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 895 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1990–2001 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1995, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 1, olympic gold medals 1, norway caps 111, european championship titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Dominique Rocheteau on 85.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Alessandro Nesta on 85.0. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
