Steen Nedergaard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steen Nedergaard (born 25 February 1970 in Ålborg, Denmark) is a Danish former professional footballer who played in the full-back position.

Nedergaard spent the majority of his career in Denmark with Odense BK. He won 14 caps for the Danish under-21 national team, and was lauded as 1990 Danish under-21 Player of the Year. In the summer of 2000, he signed a three year contract with Norwich City F.C. in England. His first season was wrecked by injuries, however in his second season he found good form and came second in the vote for Norwich City player of the year. The team reached the final of the English Division One play-offs, however Nedergaard missed the play-off matches after suffering another injury.

At the end of his third season in England, Nedergaard opted to return to Denmark and signed again for Odense BK. He maintained connections with Norwich City and was instrumental in persuading fellow countryman Thomas Helveg to join the club in the summer of 2004.
