Flemming Ammentorp Østergaard (born October 31, 1943 in Skovshoved) is the chairman of Parken Sport & Entertainment, who drives the football club F.C. Copenhagen. He is also known as Don Ø, a nickname he received in the 1990s, by the editors of the fanwebsite: "Fusionsnipserne".
In the eighties he suffered leg injuries from a traffic accident. Although his doctor told him, that he would never walk again, he refused to give up, and managed to work and train his leg, so that he not only walked again, but also was able to win a club championship in his tennis club.
Although recognized as a first-class businessman and tough negotiator, Flemming Østergaard has primarily been in charge of the turn-around and rise of F.C. Copenhagen, to its present status as the leading football team in Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia.
