performance of Scandinavia teams ever in the World Cup. Although Denmark just firstly qualified for

side-back. Morten Olsen as a sweeper and Rune Bratseth as center-back would be the
steel wall in the central defending line. Liedholm and M.Laudrup will co-ordinate together to create and do
assists, and even being a second striker sometimes. Hamrin and Aage Praest is
responsible as wing-forward. Ibrahimovic take a second forward to support target striker like Gunnar Nordahl.

ReplyDeletewho is 11. at "scandinavian best"?
ReplyDeleteActually Pauli Jorgensen is omitted at 19th
DeleteI propose to consider, it is my opinion that 1982 was the best Scandinavian player Frank Arnesen or Thorbjorn Nilsson. 1983- Jesper Olsen, 1987- Jan Molby, 1989,1992,1995 Michael Laudrup, 1991- Andres Limpar, 1998- Tore Andre Flo, 1999- Peter Schmeichel, 2004- Tomasson. Since he exploded, I agree that each year Ibrahimovic was the best.
ReplyDeleteIt is very great to have you help on the list. At the first sight, I immediately agree to change in three years. 1992 must be M.Laudrup as I also name him as one of the top three best players in the world in World Annual Award of the Century (just forgot to update here). Another year is 1998 when Tore Andre Flo was being in his top performance. The third year is 1999 as Soljkaer was not even a starter of Man Utd although he was a perfect reserved player.
Delete1982 : Thorbjorn Nilsson should not be considered even he was awarded Golden Ball because he played only 7 games in the 1982 allsvenskan and his first season at Kaiserslautern is rated below international-class by kicker. I’d consider the 1981 -1982 season for Arnesen. He was rated in 30th Don Balon La Liga player of the season and not rated in top 20 EL Mundo La Liga player of the season. When Glenn Stormberg got very high rating in series A so I go for him.
1983 : I know Jesper Olsen was performing his peak but Morten Olsen seems to me for his untouchable place as a prominent sweeper.
1987 : Jan Molby’s best season is the 1985 – 1986 but unfortunately Lerby was also great in the same year. Rune Brathseth was rated by kicker in world-class a half of season.
1989 :Elder Laudrup with last season at Juventus was rather smooth and was rated very low pint by media while younger Laudrup start his first season in Bundesliga and achieved international-class by kicker.
1991 : This year is not the best season of M.Laudrup at barca but he was already a top player and should be superior to Andres Limpar who was just very quick.
2004 : Tomasson was failed in UEFA Champion League. I’d prefer Larsson who was still very reliable and efficient.
Thank you! Congratulations to Gunnar Nordahl, but one season should certainly be reserved for Karl Aage Hansen. 1947 or 1951. Bye!
ReplyDeleteI know it's in season 94/95 Ajax was European champion and Litmanen their best player. Real with Laudrup was just conqueror of La Liga. For me, maybe it was his best year. Zamorano was the top scorer, and 82% of goals scored on Laudrup assists.
ReplyDeletePlease, who is thomas cristoffersen?
ReplyDeleteSorry, actually it is Per Kristoffersen who was four times top scorer in Norwegian league is ranked in 4th Norwegian league all-time top scorer.
Deleteand what about Flemming Povlsen? Great player!
ReplyDeleteHe is one of legends of UEFA Euro but kicker rate him in only one international-class season, is very low for its standard.
DeleteCan I get a professional opinion on Karl Aage Hansen? I read about it about it in Italian newspapers. Many believe that this is the best Dane in Serie A. Many also believe that with Giacomo Bulgarelli most universal player ever in Serie A.
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting. I see Karl Aage Praest is the only 40s danish player in series A is mentioned in Danish Football Hall of Fame. Anyway, it would make the issue I might have underrated Karl Aage Hansen.
DeleteThis is because it is the only Praest was alive when it was founded, "hall of fame". J.A.Hansen, KA Hansen J.L.Sorensen and Bronée had already died.
ReplyDeleteBut I also see many Danish legend from 00s and 20s being named in the Hall of Fame although they had been died when the selection was held ?
DeletePraest was inducted into the "Hall of Fame" in 2008. He died in 2011. John Hansen and Karl Aage Hansen died in 1990, and Sorensen and Bronée in 1999.
ReplyDeleteSo that's mean player who has died must not be named in hall of fame ? it is strange for me because I'm accustomed to a reverse process that players who have been passed away will be suited in time of being honored.
DeleteIt would not be fair, but apparently not, at least not for now.

ReplyDeletenothing of debate?
ReplyDeletePlease see in above comment. I told you about Hall of Fame selection.
DeleteA long study of Scandinavian football. And I am quite certain that Karl Aage Hansen deserves a place in the Danish team instead of Jan Molby (who was a great player), and Fritz tarp instead Helveg. TARP in his time meant much more than Helveg.
ReplyDeleteI name Jan Molby in all-time Denmark XI because he could play deeper as CM.
DeleteThanks for Fritz Tarp ! I'll name him soon.
Maybe even Henning Jensen or Bronée or even someone else instead of Brian Laudrup because of his club career was not at the level of his talent
ReplyDeleteHelge Bronee played in amateur until his 28 years old when he moved to Series A so his prime is too short. Henning Jensen was a world-class deep-lying forward. He might switch to winger sometimes but as I know it is not his peak position.
DeleteOK, I have updated All-Time Denmark Squad and XI with addition of Fritz Trap. I cannot find his height, you probably could help. For his photo, I cut the part of him from this link http://www.fodboldhistorik.dk/Fodbold-historik/dbu1/38_stor.htm
ReplyDeleteNote that I name Helveg out of squad and not even mention as he is rated very low in Series A (just even doubt why he was great enough to play for Milan.
Do not ask me for Helveg. I watched him a lot. He never failed to impress me. But I know he has enjoyed cult status in the national team. 2001, Martin Jorgensen said that the best and most important Danish player is Helveg.John Sivebaek was huge potential. I found somewhere that was the best right-back in 1985. In the national team played the best 10 years (1982-1992). He failed to make a major international career, although in France played a standard and very good.
DeleteYou would not want me to be tiring and boring. I enjoy every day in your site. Praising this project could constantly. However, it is logical that I write when I think differently than when I think the same. Bronée became a professional with 26 years. Then it took Nancy. At the time when he played as an amateur that did not show any difference in terms of quality. That he was born in Denmark where the professionals they did not get to play until 1971 would he should not be a problem also. This is what you see as a "hall of fame", I do not really see. I guess that this is the English wikipedia. Now I'm there something tampered with. It seems to me that it's not real, "hall of fame".
ReplyDeleteSorry I was really mistook. Bronee played in professional football at his 26 years old is true. He just started playing at Danish first division at 24 years old but at least he compensated in longevity, played in series until 34 years old. I also set criteria in NT part for this selection around 50 % and Bronee also won only 4 caps due to playing aboard and I have not rated player base on talent but it is about how much legend contribute to his club and nation.
DeleteYes, I refer to English wikipedia which I admit it is not always reliable. I'll review on your suggestion one again.
Arne Selmosson is a very interesting player. I'm surprised you did not mention above.
ReplyDeleteHe is an omission. As I read twice articles, he was one of the successful Swedish players in series A during the 1950s. At least he should be named in Scandinavian positional list but still not sure if he would be great enough to be made profile. He also won only four caps due to play aboard.
DeleteI think footballers should be considered solely for the times when they played. Talents in Denmark are not guilty because they played like amateurs. Nor are professionals from Yugoslavia worth more because they are professionals. Milorad Arsenijević also had his job with the football. The fact that professionals were not allowed to play for the national team until 1971, and they later took 10 years to create a cult of representation may be affected just the national team, but not to individuals. Not even the World Cup in 1930 was worth something. The best selection in the world they did not even want to play. Argentina and Uruguay are all that's worth a championship. It is known that in his time Nordahl could not be measured with Liedholm. Exceeded by only nowadays, thanks to statistics and mathematics.
ReplyDeleteI always consider limit condition on their own era but the fact that many European nations already turned professional at the post-war era and I just wonder amateur Danish players at that time also had another career ? because player would be very limit in case they're not even make a full-time playing.
DeleteThat is interesting that professional players were prohibited to play in national team. I understand this limitation likes many other legends in the first half of 20th century who is unfortunate to born in era of international instability (often withdrawals in major tournaments).
So, I have never considered this effect as failure but disadvantageous status is still difficult to leave out when players were lack of opportunity.
Uruguay should mean more Olympic Games in 1928, but the world championship in 1930. And who knows, maybe in future Mario Jardel worth more than Klinsmann!
ReplyDeleteJari Litmanen is not from Denmark he is from Finland
ReplyDeleteyou must move fritz tarp from central defenders
ReplyDeleteOK,thanks
DeleteForgot to put Axel Pilmark to this list.
ReplyDeleteOK, update.
Delete1964 Harald Nielsen was the top scorer of Serie A and Italian champion. Ole Madsen has played in the lower league. In nine games for the national team scored 4 goals.
ReplyDeleteOK Thanks, I have updated.
Delete1964? Ole Madsen?
ReplyDeleteYou forgot put Lerby front Sune Andersson and Stromberg. Arne Selmosson missing state, and Elkjaer Larsen was not Larson. Can you reconsider deserve Carl Skomar Hansen, John Tage Jensen, Asbjorn Halvorsen, Poul Aage Rasmussen, Tore Andre Flo, Sophus Nielsen Krolben, Helmuth Søbirk, Tore Keller and Jorgen Kristensen entry to this list?
ReplyDeleteOK, please give me a time to review them.
Deleteand Albert Gudmundsson, of course?
ReplyDeleteIm sorry, Ivan Tage Jensen.
ReplyDeleteIbrahimovic is Zlatan, Soljkaer is Solskjaer. Central Defender- 16. Bent Hansen, 16. Poul Jensen. Groenjaer is Gronkjaer. Sivebaek is definitely was better then Riise, Johansen, Roland Nilsson, Heintze and Helveg.
ReplyDeleteOK, Thanks you for a huge suggestion. I now have known a set of the new scandinavian players from you. As I am best at rough consideration based on article in wikipedia and pcsd.com, most of them are approved to be added in positional list aside from Carl Skomar Hansen (His prime at Rangers was too short from broken leg), Poul Agge Ramussen (His prime at Atalanta was also too short and his longevity in overall career is much less than average), Jorgen Kristensen (His 3 - 4 great seasons were only available at Feyenoord), Albert Gidmunsson is not a new name for me, I can't name him as his career was ended when the highlight was just started.
ReplyDeleteNow I even would go on studying whether Tore Keller is deserved to be made the profile as pcsd.com rate their skill very high and he is also described as one of the best Swedish players in the pre-war era.
I also revise the name for correction as your notice.
I'm very pleased with your analysis. I'll have to come to terms with the "destiny" of Poul Aage Rasmussen, Gudmundsson and Skomar. Tore Andre Flo has been very interesting to me as a player, but his career is nothing. Kristensen was superb dribbler. Finally, I must say that Søbirk was much better player than Jorgensen, Gronkjaer, Limpar, Pedersen, Sandberg and Ljungberg.
ReplyDeleteINFO:
Søbirk was a quick and inventive play that particular wing was very difficult to neutralize. He was a brazen attack, which loved to dribble and make fun of their opponents. Due to his speed, he was nicknamed "Smut" because he often slipped past Backen, and so was nicknamed while in the "family" with his first name. He also good scorer. He joined the national team small 3 months after his debut for Frem. Bye!
OK, I’ve raised some ranks of Sobirk but I’d prefer save Ljungberg place as he was more an effective player than talented player and seemingly got more success in the career.
DeleteLjungberg has certainly had a successful career. Søbirk was much more talented. Søbirk had better technique, shot, dribbling. It is faster, with better agility and more aggressive.
ReplyDeleteThe best Scandinavian player 1987 may be the only Jan Molby!
ReplyDeleteIt is highly probable for the seasonal year but I made this list base on calendar year.
DeleteCarl Skomar Hansen, Eigil Nielsen and Knud Lundberg are included in the "Danish hall of fame". Do you think it should be on this list? I think that Poul Jensen was right-back and Bent Hansen was left back!
ReplyDeleteOK, I'll check them.
DeleteThe best Scandinavian not Liedholm than Michael Laudrup
ReplyDeleteI'm not understand your sentence, Please clarify.
DeleteUp at the top writes the best Scandinavian is Liedholm. We all know that it Laudrup
ReplyDeleteOh, OK thanks you for notice.
DeleteCarl Skomar Hansen, Eigil Nielsen and Knud Lundberg are included in the "Danish hall of fame". Do you think it should be on this list? I think that Poul Jensen was right-back and Bent Hansen was left back!
ReplyDeleteCarl Skomar Hansen, I see he played for Rangers only 22 games within 4 seasons, not know why he participated in a minor part. I imply he career is rather short in total games played.
DeleteEigil Nielsen and Svend Jensen is said to be the best Danish keeper before era of Schemichel. This status is very interesting. (I’ll include them in positional list)
Kund Lundberg : There is no remarkable description written for him enough.

I’m always more like the annual winner list than all-time list by magazine as it is often too strange arrangement. Ibra is no way better than M.Laudrup and Liedholm finished at 12nd is totally out of acceptance.

Sune Andersson is a big omission. He should be ranked anywhere between the late 1940s and the early 1950s.
DeleteSune Andersson was a great potential. However, he played only five seasons in the first league of Sweden (he once moved to a lower rank), and two international seasons with AS Roma (the first season dropped to lower rank, and the second season played in the lower rank).

Well, dear Naratorn, I tried. I do not know how much it coincides with your opinion
ReplyDeleteI'm really appreciated on your effort but please give a time for me to respond. Now I'm very busy.
DeleteHi, I'm sorry to hold your list for a long time due to my projects. Now I'd say your list is very valuable to me as I am collecting seasonal performance for a large number of players and you contributes such a rare list. May I request your nickname/login name ? I'd like to name you in the group of WFHC consultant.
DeleteAnyway, for best Scandinavian player list, what is a source or it is base don your analysis ?
ReplyDeleteJohn Lauridsen- two times "la liga- team of the year"- El Mundo- 82/83 and 83/84. One more reserve "la liga- team of the year"- El Mundo- 86/87. El Mundo- 82/83- 4.player, 83/84- 12.player, 86/87- 10.player. Don Ballon- 83/84-16.player, 84/85- 32.player, 85/86- 32.player, 88/89-46.player. Seven successful seasons in Primera
ReplyDeleteI think he is likely to achieve only 3 international-class seasons only. His career with Denmark is also too short.
DeleteUnfortunately, I just see this message right now. I'm honored with your offer. I do not know if it is worth it yet. My nickname is Sheste.
ReplyDeleteWhat country are you from ? Aside from ranking in this squad, did you also contribute poll list to other squad ? I ask because I will write about your contribution detail.
DeleteLook, I'm from Croatia. Your new friend at FB. Since the time I wrote this Scandinavian list, I was even more concerned with Scandinavian footballers. Today I would have changed a lot. That was somehow the first stage. Over a 10-day period will be over. Then I will have 5 best players for each year and the best 11 too. At that level, I have not been dealing with any other team yet. I worked a bit with Hungary, the former Yugoslavia, Romania, the Netherlands, and Austria. But it's far to the final court. But it's far to the final court. However, these are the nations with which I plan to do the same in the future.
ReplyDeleteAre you Markov or one of his friends ? I thought that you're from one of Scandinavia nations for a long time since you contributed extensive knowledge about their legends.
DeleteI am Markov. It would be too much for such a small space to find more enthusiasts. I'm talking with my friends about the past and the WFHC, but they are not neither close interested as i am.
Deletemaybe not. Still, I'm mostly in Scandinavian football
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for your offensive lateral list counting only denmark footballers.
ReplyDeleteYou rated Bronee above Brian Laudrup in that list , but in Denmark squad Brian is in the XI and rated above Bronee in "Greatest Danish Footballers of All-Time".
The national team criteria in international legendary museum is set in more weight than positional hall of fame. When both has similar point, B.Laudrup who is rated much higher in NT career is consequently better in overall point for Denmark.
DeleteDEFANSIVE LATERAL: Helveg, Heintze and Riise are certainly better than Arto Tolsa and Roland Nilsson. I think Henning Berg certainly deserves a place on this list or on the list of central defenders. CENTRAL DEFENDER: I think Bent Hansen was left back, and Poul Jensen was right back. I think Daniel Agger deserves a place on this list despite the injuries, like Simon Kjaer. And I'm pretty sure there must be places for Harald Hansen on this list. DEFANSIVE MIDFIELDER: Flemmimg Nielsen certainly had the quality for this list as well as Valdemar Laursen. OFFENSIVE MIDFIELDER: I think Rytkonen does not deserve to be on this list, regardless of the talent he possessed. I think it was before him: Walther Christensen (the greatest Danish talent after Michael Laudrup and Helge Bronee) and even Par Zetterberg. WINGER: Jesper Olsen deserves to be ahead of Roald Jensen, even on a career basis even in front of Magnusson. Limpar and Sandberg were better than Poul Pedersen. Probably also from Gandil. FORWARD: There is no doubt that Gunnar Gren and John Hansen were better than Sven Rydell and Ove Kindvall. Henry Carlsson and Jorgen Sorensen deserve a place in front of Ralf Edström. I think Tore Andre Flo deserves a safe place on the list. Henning Enoksen is also a candidate. Along with Bent Hansen he had a contract with Turin. At the last moment they changed and both transfers were lost. Flemming Povlsen also deserves a place on this list. No matter what he could do in the clubs. Carl Skomar Hansen was the world star of his time. STRIKER: I think the value of Henrik Larsson and Martin Dahlin is overwhelmed. Larsson was 28 when he started to score in Scotland. Even the Dutch league was too strong for him. Both are deserving place on the list, but certainly lower. Solskjaer had a career much better than both. More candidates: Michael Rohde, Helge Ekroth, Wilhelm "Wolle" Wolfhagen, Paul Berth, Per Kaufeldt, Ulrich Le Fevre, Soren Busk, Kim Kallstrom, Christian Eriksen ...
ReplyDeleteHere's one interesting information. Sven Rydell and Pauli Jorgensen were born the same year. They were born in 1905. From 1925 to 1937, Sweden and Denmark have played 13 games. 8 matches won Denmark, 4 matches won by Sweden and one game ended with a draw. Denmark scored 32 goals, and Sweden's 23. Pauli Jorgensen played 9 games, Sven Rydell 8. Pauli Jorgensen scored 11 goals and Sven Rydell 2 (one in penalties).
ReplyDeleteThere is a mistake in greatest scandinavian : Litmanen is obviously finnish
ReplyDeleteSimon Kjaer, Daniel Agger, Christian Eriksen?
ReplyDeleteHe he!! Sigurdsson and Hradecky were better then Eriksen in last two years!!!! Ahhaaaa. And did you my friend watch Hradecky and Kasper Schmeichel ???? Or maybe compare Sigurdsson and Eriksen ??? Very funny !!!! Hradecky because he was the best goalkeeper of the Bundesliga !!!!! Kasper was the 3rd Goalkeeper of the World that year in FIFA selection !!!! And since Ibrahimovic's departure, Eriksen has been the best Scandinavian without any competition. We can debate the arguments if you want?
ReplyDeleteHe he! Hradecky, whose market value is 8 million and is still in decline. And he's better than Eriksen, who may have played a key role in Tottenham's Champions League final. With a value of EUR 100 million. Well Hradecky is only Scandinavia's 2nd goalie right now. He is ahead of Scandinavia in 2019: Eriksen, Schmeichel, Delaney, Schone, A.Christensen, Wass, Y.Poulsen (Denmark), Forsberg, Lindeloff (Sweden), Halland (Norway), Sigurdsson (Iceland) and even Puuki - his countryman. I do not know if you know that the Danes have lost neither friendly nor official game for more than 3 years. 32 straight games in a row. (The 2018 friendly with Slovakia was played by amateurs. The futsal players from both Denmark and the 3rd and 4th leagues. With Croatia, the World Cup is officially counted as a draw.)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. It was my mistake not taken Eriksen performance into account in the last two years. Now I have updated. Thanks for help checking.
DeleteI think you should remove Gylfi Sigurdsson as Scandinavia's best player in the second half of 2010. Need to explain?
ReplyDelete1931- Rydell was eliminated from the first Swedish league and Pauli Jorgensen was champion of Denmark and scored 21 goals in 15 games. 1933 - Rydell says goodbye to the national team. In the Swedish league, he was fifth with only 8 goals scored. Pauli was the champion again. In their match Denmark beat Sweden 3-2 in Stotcholm. Jorgen Juve was two levels below. Brustad and Kvammen were still developing. 1934- I think it was still a year for Brustad or Kvammen. 1935- Surely one of the best years for Paula Jorgensen. Between 1939 and 1945, football was played in Scandinavia. The best player without any competition was Walther Christensen. He was accompanied by: Gunnar Gren, Gunnar Nordahl and Karl Aage Hansen. 1949- I don't understand how Liedholm found himself in front of Carl Aage Praest. 1962- How could Ole Madsen even compete with Kurt Hamrin ??? 1973 - Henning Jensen better than Bosse Larsson. 1982 - Jesper Olsen for class in front of Stromberg !!!
ReplyDeleteYou have given a great recommendation on nordic players. I review your comments and agree in most of them. In 1934, Norway is the 1st place in nordic championship but Brustad did not play for them. Kvammen scored only 1 goal and did not have a great profile in Norwegian Cup. During World War II, there is no international tournament. I think Nordahl may be the best in 1945 and Christensen is the best in 1941 but I really have no idea in other years.
Delete1939- Instead of Eric Persson certainly by Walther Christensen. 1940 - Walther Christensen was widely regarded as the best player in Scandinavia, but Kaj Aksel "Lille" Hansen was the Danish league's top scorer as a winger and, in a team match with Sweden 3-3, scored all three goals. 1941- Walther Christensen. 1942- The dilemma is between Gunnar Gren and Henry Carlsson. 1943-Certainly not Henry Carlsson. Nordahl was already in the position of Sweden's top scorer. Kaj Christiansen was the top scorer in the Danish League. In the match between Denmark and Sweden, Denmark were better 3-2. Kaj Christiansen scored 2 goals and Nordahl 1. Still, the biggest stars were certainly Karl Aage Hansen in Denmark and Gunnar Gren in Sweden. Walther Christensen had already stepped heavily into alcohol, but was also a prominent fighter against Nazi Germany. He was later shot and taken to a Nazi camp in southern Denmark. 1944- Karl Aage Hansen. 1945- Certainly Gunnar Nordahl.
ReplyDeleteKaj Cristiansen was named as Danish Sports Talent of the year in 1943 so I'm not hesitated to name him. Thanks for your recommendation. I think the list has become much more reliable.
Delete1987 - Bratseth with Werder was 5th in Germany. He was not selected to the Kicker team of the year. Jan Molby alongside Rush was Liverpool's best player. Perhaps the best team in Europe. He scored two key goals for Denmark in qualifying in which Denmark ranked among the top eight in Europe (Finland 1-0, Cheskoslovakia 1-1). He was also the top scorer for Denmark in those qualifications. 1989 and 1990 Brian Laudrup promised his sensational games for the national team a lot in the future, as did Brolin. It is hard to believe, though, that with their games for Uerdingen and Norkkoping they could compete with the still existing bigger names. In 1989, Bratseth had a fantastic season. Jesper Olsen played great in Bordeaux. The 1988/89 season for the elder Laudrup was an awakening after two years of stagnation. He played very well for Juventus but also for the National Team. 2 goals and a great presentation in Brazil's 4-0 win in 1989. In "World Soccer" he was selected among the top 10 that year. Glenn Hysen also played well, but he could hardly compete with Michael. The same applies to Jonas Thern as to Brolin and B.Laudrup. 1995- Litmanen led the way in Ajax's young take-off team, but in 1995 Michael was excellent and certainly competitive for the top.
ReplyDeleteJan Molby missed the first three months of 1987 - 1988 season.
DeleteIn 1988 - 1989 Series A season, M.Laudrup received only 6.00 average performance score.
I look at it by season. 1987 means season 86/87. Molby played 44 matches that season and scored 12 goals. They did not play in Europe because they were punished.
ReplyDeleteHello my friend! I hope you are well through these difficult times. I see you come to new insights about Fritz Tarp that I wrote to you about two years ago. I believe that over time there will be more facts for progress for Karl Aage Hansen, who can absolutely compete for positions and central midfielder and playmaker, of course, and trequartist. I cannot agree that Skoglund was better placed than Carl Aage Praest, despite the fact that he was more technically attractive. I may be wrong, but it constantly seems to me that you prefer Swedish footballers over Danish footballers. I believe this is largely due to Sweden's participation and success in the World Cup. However, Denmark had a completely different story. Sune Andersson ?? Talent, no career! All in all, I wish you were well, you and your loved ones, and that we have more discussion in the future.

DeleteFrom this link, kicker magazine rated players in pre-war era and Fritz Tarp is rated as the best defender in the pre-war era alongside Jose Nasazzi.
Do you know height of Fritz Tarp ? I can't find in any site and do you think he is best at side-back or center-back in nowadays tactic ?
National team achievement simply helps players to get more chance in showing performance. I will keep your suggestion to research more as there is no seasonal rating by media in that era.
Thanks you for your concern. I also hope you will be safe.
If I have question about Danish players, I'll surely not forget to ask you.
Posted by you on Fritz Tarp March 4, 2019. at ILM-Denmark. I think he was better in the Right back position. I read somewhere among other things that he was an elegant dribbler and an effective tackler. He knew with the ball, and he played on the right side. I do not know his height, but since I have many pictures of the Danish national team from the twenties, they show that Poul Tist Nielsen is smaller than Tarp one 5-6 cm. The then goalkeeper Svend Jensen bigger than Tarp about 10 cm. Wikipedia writes that Svend Jensen was 195 cm tall. Pauli Jorgensen was the smallest of all. Probably somewhere between 171-174 cm.
ReplyDeleteOK great information. Thanks.
DeleteIt has been absolutely factually proved to me that, until the 1920s, Denmark was the untouchable world football force after England and Scotland. KB Copenhagen is also the oldest European club outside the British Isles. When they lost in the Olympics 1-0 against Spain in 1920, it was a big world surprise. They lost by a great mistake to the otherwise highly regarded goalkeeper Sophus Hansen. The twenties and thirties still belong to the European top together with: England, Scotland, Holland, Cheska, Austria, Hungary, Italy and Belgium. Only in the second half of the 1930s, under the auspices of Nazism, did the Germans invest heavily in sports and perceive sports as an ideal way to prove superiority. That's when "Breslau Eleven" happens in 1937, a defeat that resonated strongly in Denmark. World War II ensues, and the best Danish players sow abroad and lose the right to play for the national team due to strict amateur rules. For the sake of comparison, here's how the games ended with Sweden: Denmark - Sweden - (1913- 8-0, 10-0), (1915 - 2-0, 2-0), (1916-2-0, 0-4), (1917-2-1, 1-1), (1918-3-0, 2-1), (1919-3-0, 0-3), (1920-2-0-0), (1921-0-0 ), (1922-2-2), (1923-3-1), (1924-2-3), (1925-2-0-0), (1926-2-0-0), (1927-0-0), (1928 - 3-1), (1929 - 2-3), (1930 - 6-1), (1931 - 1-3), (1932 - 3-1), (1933 - 3-2). There, the first 20 years of mutual duels. Denmark vs Sweden - 26 games, 17 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses, goal difference 65-27.
ReplyDeleteAbout Roland Grip. He is listed as centre-back by National Football Teams, and as a right-back by transfermarkt.
ReplyDeleteLast week I watched Italy vs. Sweden in the 1970 World Cup - full match - and he clearly was playing at left-back.
Could you tell me which reliable source qualify him as centre-back, since you included him in the centre-back ranking list?
I really can't remember what source I referred to, probably from expert of nordic players.
DeleteTarp is better than Bergmark. M.Olsen -postion central defender,Hyypia out.
ReplyDeleteMiddelboe- position defansive midfielder, or maybe Karl Aage Hansen
OK, Thanks but Morten Olsen played as defensive midfielder in some part of his career.
DeleteHe played also and right wing position
ReplyDeleteBest player 2020 should be between Andreas Christensen who won UCL as a vital part of that team or Haaland who is banging in goals left and right. I only see those two as contenders for 2021 best Scandinavian players as well.
ReplyDeleteI believe Kasper Schmeichel now belongs to the group of the greatest Danish goalkeepers ever. He is always reliable, is a leader and has now won a Premier League and a FA Cup for Leicester City, besides reaching the semifinals at the Euro Cup (third best keeper of the tournament imo after Donnarumma and Pickford).
ReplyDeleteHarry Bild for positional ranking. Swedish attacker nominated for 1963 Ballon d'Or (received 3 votes). Great scoring record in Sweden and the Netherlands, good scoring record for the NT as well. Took part in the 1964 Euros. There is a detailed Wikipedia page about him in Finnish (I used google translate).
ReplyDeleteThere can be no way Zlatan is the 2nd best Scandinavian player of all time. Nordahl scored almost 500 goals in an era where the Italian league was the most defensive in the world. Zlatan very often fails in big matches, and despite playing for so many stacked clubs, never won the UCL. He got a goal ratio of only 0.40 in UCL which is incredibly bad. This is a mistake right????? Right?
ReplyDeleteI think K.Schmeichel, Daniel Agger, Odegaard, Kjaer or Christensen should be in the ranking list. Especially because Lindelof is mentioned there.
