Kaj Aksel Hansen (22 April 1917 – 12 August 1987) was a Danish

Danish football championships with B 93, and was the joint top goalscorer of the 1940 season. He was banned from Danish football in 1946, having illegally accepted payment to play. He then played professionally for French clubs Stade Francais, SR Colmar, FC Metz and CA Paris
.

Having ended his active career in 1950, Hansen went on to manage Danish clubs

B 1909
, as well as the unofficial Danish second-string national team.

Career

Being 166 cm tall, Hansen was unusually short for a footballer within the league and was affectionately known as "Lille Kaj" (

Danish football championship with the club in 1934 and 1935.[1]

Hansen made his debut for the

Copenhagen Football Association for excessive drinking on the trip.[1]

In 1946, Kaj Hansen and Arne Sørensen both accepted payment to play for Skovshoved IF, in violation of the amateur-only code of the Danish Football Association.[1] They were declared professionals, which barred them from playing football for both Danish clubs and the Danish national team. Hansen and Sørensen moved abroad to continue playing professionally, and they joined Stade Francais. Here they played alongside Børge Mathiesen. The physical side of the professional game did not suit Kaj Hansen, who spent much of his professional career out with injury.[1] He represented French teams Stade Francais, SR Colmar, FC Metz, and CA Paris,[4] before ending his playing career in 1950.

Kaj Hansen became a popular manager of several Danish teams. He went on to manage

B 1909.[1] He also managed the Danish second-string national team for five unofficial games in 1958 and 1960, winning two games and losing one.[5]
