Hans Viggo Jensen, known simply as Viggo Jensen (March 29, 1921 - November 30, 2005) was a Danish football (soccer) player in the midfielder position, who played professionally for English club Hull City. He played 15 games and scored one goal for the Denmark national football team and won a bronze medal with Denmark at the 1948 Summer Olympics.[1]
Jensen was born in Skagen, but made his senior level break-through with Danish club Esbjerg fB in the amateur-only Danish football.[2] He made his international debut in June 1945, and was a part of the amateur-only Danish national team until October 1948.[1] He played in England for Hull City from October 1948 to November 1956,[3] appearing in 308 Football League matches and scoring 51 goals.[4] His early appearances were at inside-right, but he demonstrated great versatility, playing in every outfield position except on the wings. His later appearances were mainly as a left-back.[3]
In December 1956, he returned to Denmark to coach Esbjerg fB.[3]
