Aage Jørgensen (2 December 1903 - 2 January 1967) was a Danish footballer who played as a midfielder.[1] He was a one club man for Kjøbenhavns Boldklub, commonly known as KB. Jørgensen played in seven matches for the Denmark national football team between 1923 and 1929,[2] [3] including at the 1924–28 Nordic Football Championship, which was won by Denmark.[4]
Jørgensen's entire club career was spent at KB in Frederiksberg, near Copenhagen. He was a part of the KB sides that won the Danish National Football Tournament in the 1921–22 and 1924–25 seasons.[5]
Jørgensen played in seven matches for Denmark. His debut was in October 1923,[6] a 3–1 friendly victory over Sweden at Råsunda Stadium in Stockholm.[7] In the match, Jørgensen's 87th minute free kick found the head of teammate Viggo Jørgensen, who nodded the ball down to the third Danish goalscorer of the day, Karl Wilhelmsen.[8] He represented Denmark at two Nordic Football Championships, including the 1924–28 championship that was won by Jørgensen's Denmark[9] and the 1929–32 championship where Denmark finished third.[10] Jørgensen retired from both club and international football shortly after his final match for his country, a 5–2 defeat at home to Norway in the 1929–32 championship.[11]
