Ulrich Møller (11 December 1962) is a Norwegian former footballer, who played most of his entire career for Molde. He was capped two times playing for Norway.

Career

Møller was born in Molde, but was training with the Dutch club FC Den Haag and played youth matches for the club at the age of 16. After a half year in the Netherlands, he returned to Molde and made his debut for Molde in the First Division on 15 May 1980, in the home match against Start.[1]

While Asbjørn Halvorsen is the youngest captain in a Norwegian Cup final,[2] Møller became the youngest captain in a Norwegian Cup final at Ullevaal Stadion[3] when Molde lost the cup final against Brann in 1982.[4]

Møller was the captain of Molde in their three first finals, but had to wait till 1994 before he could lift the trophy. That final was his last match as a player.[1] Møller is the player with second most top division matches for Molde, with 250 matches from 1980 to 1993.[5]

He was player-coach for Molde between 1991 and 1993,[6] and has later worked in the clubs administrative staff as marketing director among other things.[7]
