Allan Kierstein Jepsen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Allan Kierstein Jepsen (born 4 July 1977 in Kolding), usually referred to as Allan K. Jepsen, is a Danish professional football player who usually plays in the left back position. He plays for the Norwegian club Vålerenga, and has earned two caps for the Denmark national football team.
Starting his professional career at AGF, Jepsen was a promising talent for many years, and was capped 24 times for the Danish U/21 national football team, while playing abroad for prominent teams SC Heerenveen and Hamburger SV. The young defender, however, never broke into the starting eleven on the highest level, and before the 2000-01 season he returned to the Danish Superliga outfit AaB, poised to replace club legend Jens Jessen. After almost 200 matches for AaB, Allan K. Jepsen finally achieved a full cap for the Danish national team on 2 June 2005, coming on for Niclas Jensen at the 71st minute in the 1-0 win over Finland.
On March 13, 2006 Jepsen used a clause in his contract as he signed for the Norwegian club Vålerenga for a €335,000 transfer fee. He revealed that the chance of playing in the UEFA Champions League was one of the chief reasons in choosing his new club.[1]
