Denmark's football history in the late 1980s and early 1990s includes a remarkable Euro 92 victory, following an unexpected invitation due to Yugoslav disqualification. Though Michael Laudrup, their legendary player, did not feature in the Premier League, his brother Brian did play for Chelsea, earning accolades like the UEFA Super Cup. Other notable Danish players in the Premier League include Allan Nielsen from Tottenham, known for his memorable League Cup final goal, and Jon Dahl Tomasson, who enjoyed a successful career spanning multiple countries, including his time at Newcastle United.
Michael Laudrup may not have played in the Premier League during his career, but brother Brian did feature in the competition. The younger Laudrup signed for Chelsea ahead of the 1998/99 season and won the UEFA Super Cup with the Blues... after making just seven Premier League appearances.
Allan Nielsen joined Tottenham from Brndby in 1996 and made 97 Premier League appearances for the north London club, scoring 12 goals... his most memorable contribution came in the 1999 League Cup final, when he scored a late winner against Leicester City at Wembley.
Jon Dahl Tomasson's much-travelled career started in Denmark and took him to Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and Spain. He made a notable impact at Newcastle United.
