Jørgen Kristensen (born 12 December 1946), nicknamed Troldmanden (the
attacking midfielder or winger, and was one of the most technical ballplayers in Danish football. He played 19 matches and scored three goals for the Denmark national football team
.
Biography
Born in
UEFA Cup, but despite playing for a successful team, he was not recalled for the Danish national team. Partly because the national team had prolific attacking players like Henning Jensen, Ulrik le Fevre, Per Røntved and not least Allan Simonsen
. And partly because Kristensen had trouble in getting the time off to travel home to Denmark to play for the national team.
He moved back to Denmark to play for Køge again, and was recalled for the Danish national team in August 1976. He moved abroad once more, to play for
Kansas City Comets
.
