Svend Aage Julius Jensen (October 6, 1905 - April 25, 1979) was a Danish football (soccer) player, who played 41 games for the Denmark national football team. Born in Copenhagen,[1] he played his entire career as a goalkeeper for local club B 93. He was a tall and strong goalkeeper, with great tactical sense and positioning.[2] He made his national team debut in May 1927, and went on to play 41 games until October 1939.[3] His greatest individual performance for the Danish national team came in the so-called Battle of Breslau, a 1937 game lost 0-8 to the Germany national football team. Without Svend Jensen, it is said Germany would have scored twice as many goals.[2]

Svend Jensen died in February 1979, while living at Østerbro in Copenhagen.[1]
