Frank Strandli (born 16 May 1972) is a Norwegian former professional footballer who played as a striker.

Career

Strandli was recognised as a fast and physically strong striker. After success in IK Start, he signed for league champions Leeds in 1993 and scored on his debut, coming off the bench against Middlesbrough. Still, he was not able to hold down a regular first team place.

He moved on to SK Brann, and after this earned significant success in Lillestrøm SK, scoring 34 times in 64 games. This earned him a move to the Greek top club Panathinaikos.

He played 24 matches for the Norwegian national football team, thus being one cap away from earning the Norwegian Football Association Gold Watch.
