Markus Rosenberg

Nils Markus Rosenberg (; born 27 September 1982) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a forward. He spent the majority of his career with his boyhood club Malmö FF, as well as a notable five-year stint with German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen. Rosenberg served as captain of Malmö from 2015 to 2019. Rosenberg won 33 caps for the Sweden national team, scoring 6 goals, and represented them at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, UEFA Euro 2008, and UEFA Euro 2012.
Rosenberg began his career at hometown club Malmö FF and became the Allsvenskan top scorer while on loan at Halmstads BK during the 2004 season. Rosenberg's Allsvenskan success attracted interest from abroad, and ultimately he ended up playing for football clubs all across Europe, including Werder Bremen in the German Bundesliga, Ajax in the Eredivisie, Racing de Santander in La Liga, and West Bromwich in the English Premier League. After returning to Malmö FF in 2014, Rosenberg scored several key goals in the club's UEFA Champions League run and helped the team win the league title. The following year, Rosenberg once again played a pivotal role in securing consecutive group stage qualifications for Malmö FF in the Champions League. He was also involved in winning two more consecutive league titles in 2016 and 2017, as well as advancing past the 2018–19 and 2019–20 UEFA Europa League group stage levels with Malmö. His second spell at Malmö FF proved to be successful, as he was named the club's greatest footballer in the 21st century.
Club career.
Malmö FF.
Rosenberg began his playing career at Malmö FF at age five, having started to play football at a young age. He was successful in the youth team, where he started playing as a right-back before becoming a striker at age 16. Rosenberg made an impact playing for the club's reserves in the 2000 season, scoring 26 times and earning him promotion to the first team. While progressing through the Malmö FF youth system, he earned a nickname "Sillen", due to "being so small and witty".
2001–2003 seasons.
Rosenberg made his league debut on 10 May 2001 against AIK, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute in a 2–0 win. He then made his first start for the side, as they won 1–0 against Hammarby on 26 May 2001. On 2 July 2001, Rosenberg scored his first Malmö FF goal, in a 2–0 win against GIF Sundsvall, However, he struggled to become a first-team regular with strong competition from Niklas Skoog and Peter Ijeh, resulting in him being placed on the substitute bench, as well as, his own injury concern. Despite this, Rosenberg signed a three–year contract with the club. Until the end of the 2001 season, he made 15 appearances scoring once in all competitions.
In the 2002 season Rosenberg found his first-team opportunities limited by strong competition and injury problems. As a result, he found himself playing for the reserve side. But towards the end of the season, Rosenberg made a number of starts for the side. He finished the 2002 season with 13 appearances in all competitions.
Rosenberg started the 2003 season well scoring in the opening match of the season, a 2–0 win against Örebro. On 5 May 2003, he scored his second goal of the season, in a 2–1 loss against Hammarby. On 29 May 2003, in the third round of the Svenska Cupen against IFK Luleå, Rosenberg scored a brace for the side, as they won 4–0. Three months later, on 17 August 2003, Rosenberg scored his third goal of the season, in a 6–0 win against Hammarby. Despite being involved in the first team, Rosenberg mostly featured from the substitute bench and continued to be overshadowed by the likes of Skoog, Ijeh and Andreas Yngvesson. But he often received playing time in absence of Skoog. Rosenberg made his European debut in a 1–0 loss against Sporting CP in the second leg of the UEFA Cup first round, coming on as a substitute in the 62nd minute. Until the end of the 2003 season, Rosenberg went on to make 21 appearances scoring five times in all competitions. Following this, he signed a three–year contract with the club, keeping him until 2006.
Loan to Halmstads BK.
When the club purchased strikers Afonso Alves and Igor Sypniewski ahead of the season, Rosenberg opted to go to Halmstads BK on loan in 2004.
Rosenberg quickly made an impact on his Halmstads debut, scoring the club's third goal in a 5–2 win against Örebro in the opening game of the season. After making his debut for the club, he quickly established himself in the starting line–up as a striker. On 25 April 2004, Rosenberg scored his second goal for the club, in a 3–2 win against Helsingborgs. After adding three more goals for the next five months, he scored twice for the side, in a 2–2 draw against his parent club, Malmö FF on 14 September 2004. By the end of September, Rosenberg scored five more goals, scoring a brace against Trelleborgs and then a hat-trick against Örebro. A month later, on 25 October 2004, he scored twice for the side, winning 2–1 against Helsingborgs. Playing at Halmstad, he became the top goalscorer of the 2004 season and just missed out on becoming the league champion after Halmstad finished two points behind Malmö. He finished the 2004 season with 29 appearances and 17 goals in all competitions.
2005 season and departure.
After his loan spell at Halmstads BK ended, Rosenberg returned to his parent club, Malmö FF, at the start of the 2005 season. He made his return to the starting line–up against IFK Göteborg in the opening game of the season and played the whole game, as they lost 2–1. In the following match against Landskrona BoIS, Rosenberg scored his first goal of the season, in a 1–0 win. On 19 May 2005, he scored his second goal of the season, in a 3–1 win against Landskrona BoIS in the Svenska Cupen. Rosenberg then scored three goals in three consecutive matches between 16 June 2005 and 27 June 2005. After the start of the 2005 season, he retained his first team place and formed a partnership with Afonso Alves. In his last match back in Malmö, he also topped the Royal League 2004–05 scoring list as well as leading Allsvenskan in assists before joining Dutch club Ajax. By the time Rosenberg departed from the club, he had made 13 appearances and scored 5 goals in all competitions.
Ajax.
Rosenberg joined Eredivisie side Ajax at the start of the 2005–06 season for a €5.3 million transfer fee. He previously rejected a multi-million contract from Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow, saying: "With such a salary, I could provide for my entire family for several decades. At the same time, money isn't everything. I also want to feel that I come to the right country and the right league."
2005–06 season.
Manager Danny Blind showed his faith in Rosenberg by immediately inserting him into the starting 11. He quickly made an impact for Ajax, scoring on his debut, in a 2–2 draw against Brøndby in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round. In the return leg, Rosenberg helped the side go through to the group stage with a 3–2 win. He then scored on his Eredivisie debut as well as setting up the club's first goal of the game, in a 2–0 win against RBC Roosendaal in the opening game of the season. A month later, on 27 September 2005 (his 23rd birthday), Rosenberg scored against Arsenal in a 2–1 loss in the UEFA Champions League. As the 2005–06 season progressed, his performances dropped until Blind decided to play in a 4–4–2 system, with Rosenberg and Angelos Charisteas as strikers instead of the 4–3–3 system, with Rosenberg as the only central striker, as was played before. Rosenberg scored four more goals until the end of 2005. With the new system, Ajax were still underachieving in that period, and during the winter break, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar joined them for a €9 million transfer fee. Consequently, Rosenberg was moved from central forward to the left wing in a 4–3–3 the club reverted to. Despite this, he went on to score five consecutive goals between 15 January 2006 and 8 February 2006. A week later, on 19 February 2006 against RBC Roosendaal, he scored twice for the side, in a 6–0 win. Playing in this line-up for the second half of the season, Ajax performed better and were able to reach the newly born Eredivisie play-offs after finishing in the fifth position in the regular competition. In the play-offs, they defeated Feyenoord and Groningen to claim a spot in the Champions League preliminaries for the following season. Ajax also won the KNVB Cup that season. Until the end of the 2005–06 season, Rosenberg went on to make 48 appearances scoring 15 times in all competitions.
2006–07 season and departure.
When the 2006–07 season began, Rosenberg played the whole game, as they beat PSV Eindhoven 3–1 to win the Johan Cruyff Shield. However, he was no longer a regular first team player, mostly backing-up Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. He scored three goals in two UEFA Cup appearances against Start. Despite being involved in the first team, Roseneberg still could not take Huntelaar's place as the main striker under new coach Henk ten Cate. By the time Rosenberg departed from Ajax, he had made 14 appearances and scored three goals in all competitions.
Werder Bremen.
Having been linked a move away from Ajax, it was announced on 26 January 2007 that Rosenberg moved to Bundesliga club Werder Bremen on a four–year contract, keeping him until 2011 for an undisclosed fee. Upon joining the club, he was given a number nine shirt for the side.
2006–07 spring season.
Two days after signing for Werder Bremen, Rosenberg made his debut for the club, coming on as an 83rd minute substitute, in a 2–0 win against Hannover 96. On 11 March 2007, he scored his first goal for the club, with the back of the head, as they drew 1–1 against Bayern Munich. After adding only two goals in April in Bremen's fight for the Bundesliga title, Rosenberg scored his first hat-trick for the club in a 4–1 win over Hertha BSC on 6 May 2007. Despite setting up the club's only goal of the game against Eintracht Frankfurt on 12 May 2007, the club, however, lost 2–1, thereby putting Werder Bremen out of the title race. In the last game of the season, scored twice in a 2–0 win over VfL Wolfsburg on 19 May 2007. By the end of the 2006–07 season, Rosenberg had scored eight goals in 14 starts in his first Bundesliga season, five of them as a substitute, making him the most effective substitute in the league.
2007–08 season.
At the start of the 2007–08 season, Rosenberg's goal scoring form began to dip, leading to criticism from manager Thomas Schaaf, who was not satisfied with his performance in the club's pre–season tour. Despite this, he continued to regain his first team place for the Werder Bremen, appearing in and out of the starting line–up. On 29 September 2007, he scored his first goal of the season as well as setting up the club's eighth goal of the game in an 8–1 win against Arminia Bielefeld. After adding only two goals throughout October, Rosenberg then scored the club's first goal of the game and set up a goal for Boubacar Sanogo, in a 3–2 win over Real Madrid in a UEFA Champions League group stage match on 28 November 2007. He then scored three goals in two matches between 8 December 2007 and 15 December 2007, including a brace against Hannover 96. Rosenberg, once again, scored four goals in three matches between 16 February 2008 and 8 March 2008, including a brace against Borussia Dortmund. Later in the 2007–08 season, he added five more goals, as his further goal scoring form contributed in helping Werder Bremen qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season. At the end of the 2007–08 season, Rosenberg made 42 appearances and scoring 16 times in all competitions, making him Bremen's top goal scorer in the league with 14, ahead of Diego with 13 goals, though he scored 18 in all competitions, himself.
2008–09 season.
Rosenberg started the 2008–09 season well when he scored four goals and set up Hugo Almeida twice in a 9–3 win over Eintracht Nordhorn in the first round of the DFB-Pokal on 9 August 2008. Seven days later, on 16 August 2008, Rosenberg scored a brace on his debut of the season in a 2–2 against Arminia Bielefeld. A month later, on 20 September 2008, he scored twice in a 5–2 win over Bayern Munich, marking the first time Bremen defeated Bayern at the Allianz Arena. This was followed up by scoring his ninth goal of the season, in a 2–1 win against Erzgebirge Aue in the second round of the DFB-Pokal. After the start of the 2008–09 season, Rosenberg continued to remain involved in the first team despite the new arrival of Claudio Pizarro. Despite a muscular injury sustained while on international duty, Rosenberg later added two more goals by end of 2008, scoring against Hertha BSC and Inter Milan (despite a 2–1 victory, Werder Bremen were eliminated from the group stage and demoted to the UEFA Cup). On 15 March 2009, Rosenberg scored twice in a 4–0 win over VfB Stuttgart, ending his ten matches without scoring a goal. Despite being sidelined later in the 2008–09 season, he started in the 2009 UEFA Cup Final against Shakhtar Donetsk and played 78 minutes before being substituted, as Werder Bremen went on to lose 2–1 at extra time. While not winning the UEFA Cup, the club, nevertheless, won the DFB-Pokal after beating Bayer Leverkusen 1–0. By the end of the 2008–09 season, he had made 47 appearances scoring 13 times in all competitions, making him the club's third highest goal scorer, behind Claudio Pizarro and Diego. However, his goal scoring form came under criticism, due to performance expectations in the first two seasons at Werder Bremen.
2009–10 season.
Ahead of the 2009–10 season, Rosenberg suffered an injury that kept him out of action with knee problems for three months. On 20 September 2009, he made his first appearance of the season, coming on as a 68th minutes substitute, in a 0–0 draw against Bayer Leverkusen. Due to strong competition in the striker position, Rosenberg was placed on the substitutes' bench for large parts of the season. Despite this, he managed to score first and only league goal of the season in a 6–0 win over SC Freiburg on 21 November 2009. Unable to produce goal scoring form, Rosenberg only managed to score three goals in the UEFA Europa League, scoring a brace in a 4–1 win over Nacional and then in a 3–1 win over Athletic Bilbao. Following a poor performance in the Bundesliga against VfL Bochum, Rosenberg was not included in the squad for the subsequent semi-final match of the DFB-Pokal, against FC Augsburg. He subsequently said to German tabloid "Bild", "I wasn't the only one to play badly against Bochum. It is not good that I was immediately removed from the squad. I'm frustrated. Obviously, I'm thinking about what happens in the summer. I'm not here to sit in the stands. I want to play football." By the end of the 2009–10 season, Rosenberg had made 24 appearances scoring four times in all competitions.
2010–11 season.
Just prior to the 2010–11 season, Rosenberg stated that he wanted to stay with Bremen after being reportedly unhappy over the contract stall. In the second leg of their play-off round of the UEFA Champions League against Sampdoria on 24 August 2010, with Bremen trailing 0–3, Rosenberg scored in injury time helping Bremen to make it into extra time before Claudio Pizarro scored the decisive goal to reach the group stage of the Champions League. This turned out to be his only appearance of the 2010–11 season. It was announced on 31 August 2010 that he signed a one–year contract extension.
Loan to Racing Santander.
On the day Rosenberg signed a contract extension with Werder Bremen, he was loaned out to Spanish La Liga club Racing Santander for the rest of the 2010–11 season. Upon joining the club, Rosenberg said it was a dream to play in Spain.
Rosenberg made his debut for Santander in a 1–0 defeat against Valencia on 11 September 2010.

It was announced on 3 May 2012 that Werder Bremen opted not to extend Rosenberg's contract. Because of his aerial ability and his strength, Rosenberg was considered a dangerous header of the ball, but he was also dangerous when having the ball at his feet. Rosenberg soon became fan favourite and earned the nickname "Rosi". Rosenberg struggled to perform in the league, but proved to be a very efficient goal scorer in both the European and domestic cups. He established himself in the starting eleven and formed a partnership with strikers such as Hugo Almeida and Boubacar Sanogo.
West Bromwich Albion.
On 7 August 2012, Premier League club West Bromwich Albion announced they had secured Rosenberg on a three-year contract. He wore the number 8 for the 2012–13 season.

However, Rosenberg found his first team opportunities limited, due to strong competition in the striker position and mostly came on as a substitute. Despite this, he played a role of assisting two goals, once coming against Wigan Athletic on 4 May 2013 and another came against Manchester United on 19 May 2013. At the end of the 2012–13 season, Rosenberg played 24 Premier League matches for the club during his first season at the club, but failed to score any goals.
2013–14 season and departure.
Ahead of the 2013–14 season, Rosenberg stayed at West Bromwich Albion despite being told that he could leave the club. Amid to the transfer speculation, Rosenberg made his first appearance of the season, coming on as an 83rd minutes substitute, in a 1–0 loss against Southampton in the opening game of the season. However, he found his first team opportunities limited once again. As a result, Rosenberg said in October 2013 that he wanted to leave West Bromwich Albion.

When he left West Brom, Rosenberg donated all contents in his house to charity.

Tank Black

William H. "Tank" Black Jr. (born March 11, 1957) is a former sports agent. Black was an assistant coach for the University of South Carolina Gamecocks before starting his Columbia, South Carolina-based sports agency, Professional Management Incorporated (PMI) in 1988. His first client was former Gamecocks wide receiver Sterling Sharpe, a first-round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers in 1988.
Black's career peaked in April 1999 when he set a new record for a single agent by signing five of that year’s 31 first-round NFL draft picks, plus three second round draft picks. Within a year he had been accused of improperly funneling cash to college players, and became implicated in a money laundering case, a Ponzi investment scheme, and allegations by the Securities and Exchange Commission that he was involved in a stock swindle. In a plea agreement, he admitted to money laundering and obstruction of justice charges, and lost a criminal trial on charges of stock fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In 2004, while serving nearly seven years in prison, he represented himself in his appeal of the SEC-related case and won, effectively clearing himself of allegations that he cheated clients. He was released from prison in December 2007.
Early life.
William H. Black, Jr. was born on March 11, 1957 in Johnson City, Tennessee, to William H. Black, Sr. and Thelma Brown. His father nicknamed him "Tank" because of his son’s unusual birth weight (11 pounds) and broad head. He played college football from 1975 to 1978 for Carson–Newman and received National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics All-America honors three times.
Coaching career.
Black joined the coaching staff at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1980, and in 1983, became a wide receivers coach at the University of South Carolina, and the school's top recruiter. In 1987, Black left the program after he was passed over for a promised promotion to offensive coordinator.
Professional Management Incorporated.
In 1990, Black founded Professional Management Incorporated with Bill Bradshaw, a Columbia businessman and one of Black's former wide receivers at South Carolina, and a marquee client, Sterling Sharpe, whom Black had known from his days coaching at South Carolina. Black and Bradshaw had an amicable split in 1995 when Black purchased Bradshaw's ownership in PMI.
With his college recruiting skills, his own experience as a player, his shared cultural background, and personal charisma, Black eventually represented over 50 black NFL players, as well as National Basketball Association star Vince Carter. He also owned a travel agency, an outgrowth of his sports agency.
Black had six clients drafted in the 1998 NFL Draft, including Fred Taylor, who was selected ninth overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Black had over 40 NFL clients by April 1998.
Downfall.
Black hired James Franklin, Jr., a Columbia, South Carolina lawyer, in September 1997 to help manage the growing business. Franklin introduced Black to representatives of Cash 4 Titles, which made small loans at high interest rates to individuals who put their cars up as collateral. Cash 4 Titles was looking for investors and promising a 20% return, and offered commissions to Black’s firm for investments by his clients. Black subsequently invested his own money along with some of his clients, friends, and family. Unknown to Black at the time, Cash 4 Titles was a Ponzi scheme and Franklin was secretly being paid finder's fees by Cash 4 Titles.
Black was emerging as one of America’s top African-American businessmen, and began to expand his business, including purchase of a hotel property in Detroit, where gambling had recently been legalized. The seller of the hotel, John Bryant, and an associate, Dean Parker, became friendly with Black and began to invest in Cash 4 Titles, showing up in South Carolina with bags of cash. Bryant and Parker were principals in a Detroit-based cocaine operation. Special Agent Kevin Boudreau testified in federal court that Bryant and Parker were laundering millions of dollars in drug cash through Tank Black, and Black assisted Dean Parker flee the country in 1998 to avoid prosecution in Detroit.
By 1999, Black was looking for new business opportunities and began preliminary talks to sell his agency to Percy Miller, better known as rap star Master P. Black's company (PMI) was estimated to be worth as much as $100 million at the time.
In 1999, a rival agent complained to the NFL Players Association that Black was illegally providing money to college players before they were eligible for the draft. In May, the University of Florida police department formally charged Black with violating Florida laws against early recruiting of college players and executed a search warrant on Black's Columbia, South Carolina office. In a highly questionable move, the university police turned over all of Black's records to the NFL Players Association. Black went to court and won possession of his records back but a month later, the FBI executed a search warrant on PMI's offices, again removing all his records and computers.
With controversy swirling around him, Black's clients began asking for their money back from Cash 4 Titles. The company returned some of the money but was itself the subject of an SEC investigation. By February 2000, Cash 4 Titles was exposed as a fraud, and Black was charged with “fraudulently causing two dozen athletes” to lose an estimated $13.5 million.
By July 2000, Black had pleaded guilty to providing loans to college players in Florida, was facing SEC fraud charges, was being sued by several of his players for the money they lost in Cash 4 Titles, and had been indicted in Detroit on money laundering and drug charges related to his involvement in Bryant's investments in Cash 4 Titles. Black ended up pleading guilty to fraud and money laundering.
Consequences.
Black was sentenced to 82 months in prison on the money laundering charges in Michigan. In Florida, he fought the SEC charges but was found guilty of fraud, and obstruction of justice. Four years later, while in jail, Black represented himself in an appeal of a civil suit the SEC had filed against him and won. The court found there was no evidence that Black knew anything about the Cash 4 Titles scheme.
In June 2001, the television program "America's Most Wanted" aired a segment on Dean Parker, a fugitive in the Detroit cocaine case. Black agreed to be interviewed for the program in prison, talking about his relationship with Parker and how he had allowed Parker to use Black's leased jet to escape to Jamaica. Parker committed suicide a few months later as police were about to arrest him in East St. Louis, Illinois.
In October 2004, while still in prison, Black sued Vince Carter for $14 million in unpaid agent fees. Black won and to avoid a protracted appeal, settled for $4.7 million with the Carter family.
Black was released from federal prison in December 2007, and from a halfway house in May 2008. Black returned to federal prison in 2011 for not making his restitution payments, but was finally released on March 7, 2014.

Catherine Hessling

Catherine Hessling (born Andrée Madeleine Heuschling; 22 June 1900 – 28 September 1979) was a French actress and the first wife of film director Jean Renoir. Hessling appeared in 15, mostly silent, films before retiring from the acting profession and withdrawing from public life in the mid-1930s.
Biography.
Hessling, born in Champagne-Ardennes, had sought refuge in Nice during World War I. Her paternal ancestors came from Alsace but moved to Champagne-Ardennes when Alsace transferred to Germany. In 1917, her beauty came to the attention of Henri Matisse, who sent her to fellow artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir as he thought she looked like a suitable Renoir subject. Hessling modelled, clothed and nude, for Renoir until his death in December 1919. Renoir's second son, Jean, fell in love with Hessling, and the couple married on 24 January 1920. Hessling gave birth to a son, Alain Renoir, on 31 October 1921.
Jean Renoir had been planning a career in ceramic art but decided instead to try his hand in the medium of film in the attempt, he would later claim, to make Hessling a star. While both were aficionados of American films, and Hessling copied fashions and behaviour she saw on the screen, she had in fact never had any thought or ambition to become an actress herself.
Renoir produced his first script, "Catherine", in 1924. Albert Dieudonné would direct the film. Renoir devised for Hessling a very stark, exaggerated look, with the mouth and eyes a penetrating black against white facial make-up, which was again used in his first full-length film "The Whirlpool of Fate", and the lavish and costly adaptation of Émile Zola's "Nana" (1926), in which Hessling's performance has been described as characteristically stylised and unsubtle, yet appropriate for this role.
Hessling appeared in three more Renoir films before the couple separated in 1931. It was rumoured that she had expected to play the role of Lulu in Renoir's sound film "La Chienne" and felt betrayed when the film's producers insisted on, and Renoir agreed to, another actress (Janie Marèse) in the role. Following the couple's separation (the divorce was not finalised until 1943), Hessling appeared in minor roles in three sound films and had a brief career as a dancer before abandoning show business completely. She lived the rest of her life out of the public eye.
Hessling died in suburban Paris on 28 September 1979, aged 79. Jean Renoir had died in California earlier the same year.

Kai Johansen

Kai Johansen (23 July 1940 – 13 May 2007), born in Odense, was a Danish professional football defender who spent a large proportion of his career playing in Scotland, most notably for Rangers.
Kai Johansen began his football career in the small club of Korsløkke before moving to Boldklubben 1909 in Odense as a striker. However, he was not successful, and moved to another of the major clubs in the city, Odense Boldklub. Here he found his natural place as a right full back and soon attracted attention from the Danish national manager. Johansen made his debut as a member of the Danish national football team on 11 June 1962 against Hungary. The following year and a half he played 20 national matches.
After attracting international interest, Johansen was the first of a number of Scandinavian players signed by Greenock Morton in 1964. The following year, Johansen signed for Rangers on 24 June 1965 for £20,000 after impressing manager Scot Symon with his performance for a European Select side against a UK Select in Stanley Matthews' testimonial.
Johansen is best remembered for his goal in the 1966 Scottish Cup final. After a 0–0 draw against rivals Celtic, he scored a 25–yard goal to seal a 1–0 win for Rangers. He was the first ever foreign player to score in a Scottish Cup final. This cup victory earned Rangers qualification to the following season's Cup Winner's Cup and they reached the final for the second time in their history, only to lose against Bayern Munich. Johansen featured throughout the run to the final, including scoring a goal in the 2–1 first leg win against Borussia Dortmund, the holders, who Rangers knocked out of the tournament.
Becoming a professional footballer excluded Johansen from the national team, which at the time entirely consisted of amateurs. He undoubtedly would have had many more caps without this rule.
He retired in 1970 and returned to a career as a store owner. Before his career in Scotland, he had established a men's wear store in Odense. He also ran pubs in Glasgow and on the Costa del Sol, before becoming a player's agent.
He was diagnosed with cancer in 2006 and died on 13 May 2007. His death was marked with a minute's silence before Rangers' match against Kilmarnock that day.
