career

In his professional career, Bartram played for Aarhus GF , Brøndby IF , Glasgow Rangers and the then Bayer 05 Uerdingen . He also played 32 games for the Danish national team from 1985 to 1991 , scoring five goals. For Bayer 05 Uerdingen he played 74 games in the Bundesliga between 1988 and 1991 and scored a total of 9 goals.

His career in the Danish 1st Division began in 1981 with nine league games for Aarhus GF. During this time he played in a team with the former Mönchengladbach attacker Henning Jensen and was a member of Aarhus GF's regular team from 1983 at the latest. On January 27, 1985, the midfielder made his debut in a friendly against Honduras in the national team. He was a member of the 1986 World Cup squad in Mexico, but was never used. Under national coach Sepp Piontek , people like Frank Arnesen , Klaus Berggreen , Søren Lerby , Jan Mølby and Jesper Olsen played first violin in midfield . In the last season in the university town at Aarhus Bugt , 1986, he won the championship with his teammates and then joined Brøndby IF in Copenhagen for the 1987 season . At the side of Brian Laudrup and Kent Nielsen , he won his second Danish championship. After a short detour to Glasgow Rangers in the 1987/88 season with eleven appearances and three goals, Bartram made his Bundesliga debut on November 5, 1988 under coach Rolf Schafstall in a 0-0 home draw against Borussia Dortmund at Bayer 05 Uerdingen. He had already played the World Cup qualifier against Bulgaria (1-1) on November 2nd as a player from Uerdingen. At the end of the round in 1988/89 he finished 13th with Uerdingen and had scored one goal in 19 league games. In his second year, the previous assistant coach Horst Wohlers took over as head coach and his national team colleague Brian Laudrup came to the Red-Blue team as an offensive reinforcement. But since two top performers, Matthias Herget and Stefan Kuntz, had to be replaced, Bartram's good performance in 33 league games with four goals also helped to no more than 14th place in the table. Before his third year in Uerdingen, 1990/91, Laudrup went to FC Bayern and Friedhelm Funkel , a long-time professional, ended his career. In goal, Wohlers tried to build a new guarantee for better times on the defensive with Bernd Dreher from Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfgang Rolff should bring routine into the midfield game. But it wasn't very successful, coach Wohlers was replaced by Friedhelm Konietzka on November 26, 1990 , but to no avail. Uerdingen was the penultimate with 23:45 points from the Bundesliga. Bartram had scored four goals in 22 league appearances. The Dane played his last Bundesliga game for Uerdingen on March 22, 1991 in a 1: 3 away defeat at VfB Stuttgart. The subsequent commitments during the current round with Stéphane Chapuisat , Andreas Sassen and Daniel Timofte could not prevent the crash.

Bartram returned to Denmark and joined his old club Aarhus GF and immediately won the 1991/92 cup and was able to repeat that again in his last professional year in 1995/96. In his last season he finished 3rd in the Superliga with Aarhus and had again completed 24 league games and scored one goal. He had played his last game in the national team on May 1, 1991 as part of the European Championship qualification in a 2-1 win against Yugoslavia.
