Timeline

1978

Michael Julius Gravgaard (born 3 April 1978) is a Danish former professional footballer who played as a centre back.

He began his career at Randers Freja.

During his stay at Viborg FF he occasionally played as a forward.

With Copenhagen he won the league title twice.

1996

Born in Spentrup, eight kilometres north of Randers, Gravgaard started his senior career with local club Randers Freja in 1996.

1999

Initially playing in the lower-league Danish 2nd Division, Gravgaard helped the club win promotion to the 1st Division in 1999.

He entered the Danish top-flight football relatively late in his career, as he foremost wished to pursue an academic career.

2002

Only after graduating as an accountant, Gravgaard signed a contract in the top-flight Danish Superliga championship, when he moved to Viborg FF in July 2002.

At Viborg, he established himself as one of the best central defenders in the Superliga, and he was at times used, with relative success, as a striker.

In his three seasons at Viborg, he appeared in 94 league games for the club and he scored 18 goals.

2005

His international career took place from August 2005 until September 2007, during which he played 18 matches and scored five goals for the Denmark national team.

In the summer break 2005, Gravgaard moved on to league rivals F.C. Copenhagen (FCK), alongside Viborg's goalkeeper Jesper Christiansen.

He quickly established himself among the key players of FCK, and due to his heading ability, he soon earned the nickname of "Copenhagen Air Force" among the FCK fans.

2007

In the January 2007 transfer window, he was linked with a move to the English Premier League, where both Newcastle United and West Ham were rumoured to offer him a contract.

2008

None of the rumours were however converted to a transfer, and so he continued to play for FCK until July 2008.

On 6 July 2008, he signed a contract for three years with FC Nantes in the French Ligue 1.

In the first half of the 2008–09 season, he played for FC Nantes in 14 games of Ligue 1.

Performance wise, the first 14 games of the season was unfortunately very bad for the club with: eight defeats, three draws and three wins.

For the next eight games, the coach decided not to offer anymore playing time for Gravgaard.

2009

In January 2009, he then agreed with the club, that he was free to sign a loan contract with another club, in case any offers would arrive.

In response to the long-term injury of Bastian Reinhardt, the Hamburger SV decided to sign a half year loan contract from 1 February to 30 June, with Michael Gravgaard.

During spring 2009, he played for the club in 12 Bundesliga games, seven Europa League games, and one German Cup game.

He managed together with Hamburger SV to reach the semifinal in both the Europa League and German Cup; but in both cases the club was unfortunate to be kicked out of the tournament by the Bundesliga rivals from Werder Bremen.

When he returned from his loan contract to FC Nantes in July 2009, he agreed to have an operation of his toe done.

In the past year he had been playing with a lot of pain from his toe, due to chronic tendonitis, and the operation was believed to cure the problem.

Unfortunately the operation failed, and he therefore agreed to have a second operation in December 2009.

The second operation left him with a "stiff toe", but succeeded to remove the pain.

2010

He effectively ended his playing career at FC Nantes in May 2010.

By the end of March 2010 he was ready to play football games again, but for the remaining part of the season he was never given a chance for a comeback.

Instead the club decided in May 2010, to try to file him as having a lifetime injury, to their insurance company.

In August 2010, the filing of Gravgaard as "lifetime injured" was approved by La Médecine du Travail (the department for Occupational Health, under the French ministry for Labour).

This decision was however appealed by Gravgaard, as he was convinced not to have any physical problems, that could force him to stop his football career.

on 16 September, he won the appeal, and regained the legal right to continue his football career.

When he asked FC Nantes to accept his return on the training field, the club however also required him to first pass a series of additional medical tests.

Gravgaard at the same time announced, that he most likely would pass all the tests, but that he felt his future prospects anyway were rather bad.

Because earlier in 2010, FC Nantes had told him not to count on anymore playing time for the first team of the club.

And when he then asked them, for an agreement where he instead could be released from his ongoing contract, with the purpose of becoming entirely free to seek a new contract with another club, they had also refused.

2011

Despite the fact of having a contract with Nantes until July 2011, his club was not interested to honour the contract, and opted instead in May 2010, to try to file him as "lifetime injured" towards their insurance company.

When this attempt ultimately got unapproved by the French authorities, and Gravgaard had passed all additional health checks, the club then opted in January 2011, to dismiss him permanently from the club – a half year prematurely.

Forced by that, Gravgaard announced in January 2011, that he would now end his active playing career for good, and that he would continue – at least for the next half year – to work as a football commentator, pundit and analyst, at the Danish TV channel Canal 9.
