Timeline

1921

Karl Aage Hansen (4 July 1921 – 23 November 1990) was a Danish football player, who played as a forward.

1942

With AB, Hansen won the Danish championship three times, namely in the 1942–43 and 1944–45 Danish War Tournaments, as well as the 1946–47 Danish 1st Division.

1943

Hansen made his international debut on 20 June 1943, as Denmark won 3–2 against the Sweden national football team, the last international game during the German occupation of Denmark.

1945

He was called up to the first Danish national team assembled after the Second World War in June 1945, and only missed a single of Denmark's next 15 games until June 1947.

In these 14 games, Hansen scored 13 goals and was likewise named team captain in 13 games.

1948

He won a bronze medal with the Denmark national football team at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London.

He scored 17 goals in 22 games for the Danish national team, and was Danish team captain on 17 occasions.

He got his breakthrough as an amateur player in Danish club Akademisk Boldklub, but moved abroad in 1948 to play professionally for a number of European clubs, including Juventus FC and UC Sampdoria in Italy and Huddersfield Town in England.

Karl Aage Hansen had a strong physique, and was a good dribbler with excellent technique, who played in the inside forward position.

He had a lax approach to training, but kept in shape through team handball, decathlon, and doing gymnastics.

He played handball for KFUM Handball and football for KFUM Boldklub.

When he moved from KFUM Boldklub to play football for Akademisk Boldklub (AB), he moved from KFUM Handball to HG Handball, where most of his AB teammates played.

Hansen won the Danish handball championship with HG and represented the Denmark men's national handball team.

Hansen's preferred sport was football, and his move to top club AB was motivated by a greater possibility to get selected for the Denmark national football team.

In the run-up to the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, Hansen missed a few international games due to injury.

He returned to the final warm-up game, scoring two goals as Denmark beat the Poland national football team 8–0.

Hansen was considered the most important player of the Olympic team, with his leadership skills, great work rate, creative passing, and ability to score goals.

In the first game of the Olympic tournament against the Egypt national football team, Hansen scored two goals, including a goal from a solo dribble from inside the Danish half, and was credited for securing Denmark the 3–1 victory in extra time.

Having captained Denmark to a 5–3 win against the Italy national football team in the quarter-final, Hansen's injury reappeared during the semi-final against Sweden.

As no substitutions were allowed, Denmark played on with the hampered Hansen, and lost the game 2–4.

Without Hansen, but with 11 fit players, Denmark won the bronze medal game 5–3 against the Great Britain national football team.

Following the competition, Karl Aage Hansen and Carl Aage Præst were selected as Denmark's top performers at the tournament.

Karl Aage Hansen only played two additional international games for Denmark, before he signed a professional contract, and was banned from the amateur-only national team selection.

Hansen's first year abroad was spent at Huddersfield Town, which narrowly avoided relegation from the top-flight 1948–49 Football League First Division.

1949

In 1949, Hansen moved to Italy to play for Atalanta Bergamo, and received a transfer fee of approximately DKK150,000.

At Atalanta, he played alongside fellow Danish Olympic footballer Jørgen Leschly Sørensen.

Hansen scored 18 goals in 37 games, as Atalanta finished in eight place of the 1949–50 Serie A season.

For the next season, Hansen moved on to defending Serie A champions Juventus FC, where he was to play alongside fellow Danish Olympians John Hansen and Carl Aage Præst.

As a part of his contract, Karl Aage demanded a clause to let him change clubs on a free transfer.

The three Danes had a great understanding on the pitch.

In his first season at Juventus, Karl Aage Hansen scored 23 goals in 34 games, making him the joint third highest goal scorer of the season.

1951

During the 1951–52 Serie A season, Karl Aage scored only 12 goals, but in his stead John Hansen stepped up, and became league top goal scorer, as Juventus won the Serie A championship.

1953

Karl Aage Hansen played an additional season with Juventus, before leaving the club on a free transfer in 1953.

The Juventus leaders thought Karl Aage Hansen over the hill, and would not offer him a satisfactory contract.

He played 87 games and scored 37 goals in the Serie A for Juventus.

Karl Aage Hansen had not liked being in Juventus as much as his time in Atalanta, and looked forward to move on.

In the end, he chose Serie A rivals Sampdoria Genoa as his new club, and got the transfer sum himself.

He stayed a single season with Sampdoria, helping the club finish 8th in the 1953–54 Serie A season, before making yet another lucrative move to the young Serie A team Catania Calcio in 1954.

1955

Hansen spent three seasons with Catania, even following the club into the Serie B, when the team was relegated due to match fixing in 1955.

He played a total 79 games and scored seven goals for Catania.
