His first goal for the club was in the 1997 Charity Shield against Chelsea.

Whilst playing for Besiktas a goat was brought onto the pitch and slaughtered before a match. Ronny Johnsen commented: "They brought out a goat, cut its head off and smeared the blood all over my forehead." (FourFourTwo, Sept. 1997)
