Jens Peter Edvin Hansen (21 January 1920 – 30 March 1990), known in England as Edwin Hansen,[2] was a Danish footballer. He was also part of Denmark's squad for the football tournament at the 1948 Summer Olympics, but he did not play in any matches.[3]

Club career

Hansen mainly played for hometown club Køge Boldklub during his career. He had a one-year stint with Grimsby Town in the First Division, making only one appearance.[4] His performance was skewered with deadly politeness in A Who's Who of Grimsby Town: "Hansen was somewhat out of his depth in an English first division match."[5][6]

International career

Hansen gained his first cap for Denmark on 15 June 1948 in a 3–0 win against Finland.[7] He was also part of Denmark's squad for the football tournament at the 1948 Summer Olympics which finished third, but he did not play in any matches.[3] He since captained the national team on three occasions.[1]

Managerial career

Hansen managed Køge Boldklub from 1974 to 1978, miraculously winning the Danish Football Championship in the 1975 season.[8]
