Club career edit
Hansen mainly played for hometown club Køge Boldklub during his career. He had a one-year stint with Grimsby Town in the First Division, making only one appearance. His performance was skewered with deadly politeness in A Who's Who of Grimsby Town: "Hansen was somewhat out of his depth in an English first division match."[3][4]
International career edit
Hansen gained his first cap for Denmark on 15 June 1948 in a 3–0 win against Finland.[5] He was also part of Denmark's squad for the football tournament at the 1948 Summer Olympics which finished third, but he did not play in any matches.[2] He since captained the national team on three occasions.[1]
Managerial career edit
Hansen managed Køge Boldklub from 1974 to 1978, miraculously winning the Danish Football Championship in the 1975 season.[6]
