Jan Mølby


DoB: Jul 4, 1963

PoB: Kolding, Denmark

Position: Central Midfielder

Clubs represented: Kolding, Ajax Amsterdam, Liverpool, Barnsley, Norwich, Swansea

Total appearances/goals: 366/64

Total caps: 33/2

Honours:
3 domestic league titles, 3 domestic cups, 3 domestic super cups

Highs:
In 86 scored 21 goals and was voted man of the match in the FA Cup final against Merseyside rivals Everton (the first time both had met in the final).
Of his 62 goals at Liverpool, 42 were penalties, of which he missed just 3. This record establishes him as Liverpool's finest penalty taker and just second to Matthew Le Tissier in the top flight of English football.

Lows:
Was an unused substitute in Liverpool's CL final loss in 85, in what would be his last chance to grab an international trophy.
A foot injury in 87, along with John Barnes' signing, cost him a place in the first team for seasons to come, as Whelan & McMahon dominated midfield.
Was a part of the Euro 84 and WC 86 squads but was not picked for Euro 92 (which Denmark won).
