Ole Bjørnmose

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ole Bjørnmose (born April 7, 1944 in Odense ; † September 5, 2006 in Fredericia ) was a Danish football player who was active in the Bundesliga with Werder Bremen and Hamburger SV from 1966 to 1977 . Until April 13, 2008, when he was surpassed by the Bosnian Sergej Barbarez , he held the record of most Bundesliga appearances for a foreigner, in eleven years there were 323 appearances.

SV Werder Bremen

In the summer of 1966, the 22-year-old striker and midfielder came from Odense BK to the Weser. The German champion from 1965 managed to stay in the league under coach Günter Brocker with 16th place. There was hardly any space in the team for the technically savvy Dane in this round, he only made five appearances. In his second Bundesliga season he became a regular player, played all 34 games and scored eight goals. Together with coach Fritz Langner he was able to look forward to the runner-up championship. In the following three rounds Werder placed in midfield and Bjørnmose moved to Hamburger SV under coach Robert Gebhardt after the 1970/71 season . He scored 21 goals in 137 games for Werder Bremen from 1966 to 1971.

Hamburger SV

In the first two rounds on the Alster, Björnmose and the team under the young coach Klaus-Dieter Ochs did not get beyond the middle of the table.

It was only under "Knight Kuno", the coach Kuno Klötzer , that the upswing at HSV began in 1973/74. In 1974 the DFB Cup final was reached . The opponent on August 17, 1974 in Düsseldorf was Eintracht Frankfurt with world champions Jürgen Grabowski and Bernd Hölzenbein . Bjørnmose scored the 1-1 equalizer in the 75th minute, but Eintracht won 3-1 in extra time.

After fourth place in 1975, HSV was able to improve in the 1975/76 season, he brought the runner-up to Hamburg. Bjørnmose played all 34 Bundesliga games. In the cup in the semi-final replay, the Hamburg team threw FC Bayern Munich out of the race with a 1-0 win in the 90th minute of the game in the Olympic Stadium and thus moved into the 1976 DFB Cup final against 1. FC Kaiserslautern . The final was a clear affair for Bjørnmose's men, who also scored the goal to make it 2-0 in the 37th minute.

Over the opponents IBK Keflavík, Heart of Midlothian , MTK Budapest and Atlético Madrid in the semifinals, HSV reached the final of the cup winners in the European Cup in 1977 . The opponent was RSC Anderlecht on May 11, 1977 in Amsterdam . The Belgians had two top European players in their ranks in the two Dutch national players Arie Haan and Rob Rensenbrink . Bjørnmose, who played in the rounds before the final, was not used in Rotterdam. HSV won the game 2-0. After the season, Ole Björnmose ended his professional career and returned to his Danish homeland. For HSV he was in 186 games with 31 goals in the Bundesliga from 1971 to 1977.

For Denmark he had completed 16 full internationals and two games in the junior national team.

Back in Denmark

After returning to his Danish homeland, Bjørnmose worked as an electrician for the regional power supply in Fredericia . He played football as an amateur at the seventh division Fredericia KFUM before returning to his original club Nørre Aaby IK, where he finally ended his career at the age of 45. He took early retirement in early 2006. He died of acute myocardial infarction in September of the same year .
