Børge Thorup (born 4 October 1943)[1] is a Danish former international football player, who played as a defender.
His career spanned from 1962 to 1974 and he both started and ended his career, at a time when the Danish league was amateur-only, with Brønshøj Boldklub.[2] Between 1966 and 1973 he took his game abroad and played professionally for Morton (2 spells), Crystal Palace[3] and Clydebank.[4]
Thorup signed for Crystal Palace in March 1969,[1] but having made only one appearance (as a substitute) in December,[5] returned to Morton before the end of the season.[1]
Børge Thorup was capped once, in 1965, in a match against Greece.[6] Prior to that he played 11 matches for the U21-national team.
