Oscar Jørgensen

Oscar Erik Mammen Jørgensen (17 December 1909 – 21 May 1992) was a Danish amateur football player, who played 28 games for the Denmark national football team from 1932 to 1945. Born in Frederiksberg, Jørgensen played as a midfielder (center-half) for Copenhagen club KB. A tall, heavy-set, knock-kneed man, Jørgensen looked nothing like a sportsman. However, with deceptively good acceleration, anticipation and heading ability, he was a good defensive player.

Jørgensen made his international debut for Denmark in June 1932. The national team positioned the center-half differently from KB, and Jørgensen was played out of position as a defender. Oscar Jørgensen played his last international game in September 1945. Years after his retirement, Jørgensen made a comeback for KB, playing in the center forward position.
