Einar Jan Aas (born October 12, 1955) is a former footballer from Norway. He was a profiled central defender and the first Norwegian to play professionally in England and Germany.

Club career

Aas started his career in Moss F.K. in 1973. In 1976 they were promoted to the Norwegian Premier League, and Verdens Gang named him "central defender of the year" in 1977 and 1979.

His professional career started in Bayern München, where he stayed for the 1979-80 season. Midway through the next season he went to Nottingham Forest, who at the time were trained by Brian Clough. A broken leg put a premature end to his stay at the City Ground. He returned to Moss in 1984, and helped the club win its first and to date only league title in 1987, before retiring as a player.
