Sigurd Brekke

Sigurd Brekke played for the clubs Viking (until 1910) and Mercantile in Kristiania (now Oslo). After winning two regional championships in Kristiania he won the Norwegian cup championship in 1912 and scored two goals in the final against Fram Larvik. Brekke won his only cap in Norway’s second ever international match in 1910 as an inside left against Sweden. At the 1912 Olympic Games he was an unused substitute. His brother, non-Olympian Wilhelm Brekke was on the team that played Norway’s first ever international match in 1908. Sigurd played bandy in the winters as a goalie for the Kristiania Hockey Club.

Brekke worked as an insurance manager. In 1916, he married Edith Grung-Ottesen. The couple had two daughters and one son. They divorced in the 1930s and Brekke married in 1937 his second wife, Anna Hausvik.
