Biography

Amateur years

Bronée started playing football with

Danish championship with 21 goals in 18 games, as ØB finished in fourth place in their 1st Division debut season. He moved abroad to play professionally in 1948. Due to the Danish Football Association
's strict rules of amateurism, this spelled the end of his international career after four games and one goal for the national team.

Professional career

Bronée signed a contract with French team

Novara in 1955. Despite 10 goals from Bronée, Novara's 1955–56 season resulted in relegation.[4]

During his professional career, Helge Bronée never stayed long at the same club. He was a single-minded player, adverse to tactical discipline. Off the field, he liked the high life, and was known as the

playboy of European football. However, his many transfer moves always included large fees, as he had the capability to turn any game in his favor, provided he was in the right mood.[3]

Bronée moved back to Denmark in 1956, but the Danish Football Association (DBU) barred him and other ex-professionals from playing in the amateur-only Danish leagues. The ex-professionals began playing a series of unofficial, but popular, exhibition matches, centered around Karl Aage Præst's vacation home in Liseleje.[5] In 1958, DBU decided to allow ex-professionals into Danish football following a two-year quarantine. Bronée played for Rødovre BK, before ending his career with his first senior club, B 93.
