  ## 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.

  ## International career
  
  Hansen gained his first cap for Denmark on 15 June 1948 in a 3–0 win against Finland. 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. He since captained the national team on three occasions.
  
  ## Managerial career
  
  Hansen managed Køge Boldklub from 1974 to 1978, miraculously winning the Danish Football Championship in the 1975 season.
