Depending on who you believe, Norwegian ex-footballer and career crook Pal Enger is either a daring criminal mastermind or, as others interviewed for The Man Who Stole the Scream (Sky Documentaries, Saturday) see it, “a thief and a hooligan”, “a self-serving son of a bitch”.
Enger s upbringing on a rough estate in Oslo was pivotal to his future career. In his teens he became a promising footballer, but at the same time developed into a skilled vehicle and jewellery thief.
