Walther Christensen

John Walther Christensen (September 23, 1918 – December 1, 1965) was a Danish amateur footballer who played as a midfielder. He made 10 appearances and scored one goal for the Denmark national football team. Christensen spent his entire club career with Boldklubben Frem, with whom he won the Danish championship in 1941 and 1944. Christensen was described as one of the greatest Danish football talents of all time, Nevertheless, Christensen made his debut for the Danish national team under Magner in June 1939, as he scored a goal in a 6–3 victory against Norway.

Christensen did deliver the odd bad performance, and was even sent off by Frem team captain Pauli Jørgensen during a game in May 1941 for not working hard enough. Off the field, Christensen was known to be a bit too fond of alcoholic beverages, In his time at Frem, Christensen helped the club win the 1940–41 and 1943–44 Danish championships. Christensen was a part of the Danish resistance movement during the German occupation of Denmark under World War II, and towards the end of war he was imprisoned in the Frøslev Prison Camp.
