Jens Peter Edvin Hansen (21 January 1920 – 30 March 1990), known in England as Edwin Hansen, was a Danish footballer. He was also part of Denmark's squad for the football tournament at the 1948 Summer Olympics, but he did not play in any matches.[2]
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.[3] His performance was skewered with deadly politeness in A Who's Who of Grimsby Town: "Hansen was somewhat out of his depth in an English first division match."[4] [5]
Hansen gained his first cap for Denmark on 15 June 1948 in a 3–0 win against Finland.[6] 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.
Hansen managed Køge Boldklub from 1974 to 1978, miraculously winning the Danish Football Championship in the 1975 season.[7]
