In 1991, Start experienced one of the most memorable seasons in their long and proud history. After fighting their way back to the top of Norwegian football following a few challenging years, the team, under the guidance of coach Morten Hegseth, secured the league title in the 1. division. With a young and dynamic squad, including talented players like Lars Bohinen and Geir Bakke, the season became a celebration for the fans.

Start kicked off the season with a blend of experience and youthful energy, resulting in a series of impressive results. The team played an offensive and entertaining style of football that captured the hearts of supporters in Sørlandet. At home in Sør Arena, the team became a feared opponent, with fans flocking in waves to support them in their quest for the league title.

One of the most memorable matches of the season took place against rivals Vard Haugesund. This match, which always carries extra significance for the fans, saw Start dominate from start to finish, and the result was a clear affirmation of the club's strength. Moments like these truly defined the season and brought the city of Kristiansand together in a shared celebration of football.

As the season approached its end, it was clear that Start was on the brink of a success story. They topped the table and had a solid lead over their closest competitors. It became a question not only of winning the league but also of regaining the respect that the club had enjoyed in earlier years. Each match became a celebration of team spirit and the relentless will to succeed.

The decisive match came in October when Start faced a hard-working team from Hønefoss. The tension was palpable, but Start showcased their class, securing the game with a 3-1 victory. The celebrations after the match were a tribute to both the team and the supporters, who had endured through years of adversity.

Winning the 1. division in 1991 was more than just a sporting achievement; it was a renaissance for Start. The club's history, filled with both triumphs and challenges, gained a new chapter. This year will always be remembered as the time when Start proved they were back, and that Kristiansand could once again be proud of their football team. It was a reminder that with hard work and dedication, one can always come back stronger than before.
