Player Profile
Houllier's second signing after Frenchman Jean Michel Ferri. Kippe was tall and athletic but lacked the necessary pace to succeed in the English top-flight. He was loaned out to Stoke in the 1999/00 and 2000/01 seasons where he did well in the Second Division. He was released to Lillestrøm in 2002 where Liverpool had originally bought him from. He was appointed captain of Lillestrøm and voted "Defender of the Year" in 2007 in the Norwegian top division and in 2018 he completyed his seventeenth successive season with the club.
