Who is Ove Jensen?

Ove Jensen was a Danish amateur footballer, who played 12 games for the Denmark national football team and was an unused substitute as Denmark won bronze medals at the 1948 Summer Olympics. He was a quick and very elegant goalkeeper, who modeled his game on legendary Danish international goalkeeper Svend Jensen. He played his club football with B.93, and made his international debut in 1945. He competed for the Danish goalkeeper spot with Egon Sørensen and Eigil Nielsen. In 1947, Jensen was selected for the Europe XI team, but was an unused substitute as the team lost 1-6 to the Great Britain national football team at Hampden Park. Jensen played 12 international games until 1948, when he was eclipsed by Eigil Nielsen.
