Thanks. He's loved in Denmark, being way too modest outside the pitch. He's 1977 European Cup Final goal against Liverpool is in there. In the collection. He came 3'rd in the 1983 Ballon d'or competition too, despite playing for a minor club in Denmark!!! THATS how good he was.
He was very good, but the Danish GOAT is without a doubt Michael Laudrup.... Pep Guardiola said that Laudrup was the world's best player in the 90ties, and that Balon D'or has no real legitimacy because Laudrup never got it. Iniesta was asked who he thinks was the best player ever... and said Laudrup..and so on... You should do one on him.
He was. It was a brutal game in the 1970'ties. With 'bonecrunchers' being a recognized term for players whose primary responsibility was to invalid people like Simonsen - who became very adapt at jumping high in the air when tackles were coming his way.
Simonsen was considered the best danish player until Michael Laudrup exploded in the 90s both played for Barcelona He left Barcelona in 1982 because Barça wanted to hire a young argentinian phenom named Diego Armando Maradona. I wonder how Simonsen would have played alongside Maradona and the german monster midfielder that was Bernd Schuster... But, in the end Simonsen left, Maradona had issues in the couple of seasons he was in Barcelona, and also left... and Barcelona had to wait for greatness
Allan Simonsen one of the best players Europe have ever seen !!!
