Holger Seebach: Biography, Facts and Career

Holger Seebach (17 March 1922 – 30 August 2011) was a Danish amateur footballer, who scored 9 goals in 17 games for the Denmark national football team, won a bronze medal at the 1948 Summer Olympics and competed in the 1952 Summer Olympics. Holger Seebach was one of five players from the same Odense Boldklub team, including Jørgen Leschly Sørensen and Svend Jørgen Hansen, who moved to Copenhagen and were selected for the Danish national team. During this period he played for AB and won four Danish championships. Seebach was a wing attacker who tried to score from all angles, and he was known as "always-good-for-a-goal"-Seebach among both teammates and opposition players. Knud Lundberg mentioned him in his book Fodboldens ABC that he had asked Holger Seebach about his goal scoring tactics, and Holger Seebach replied that he used to aim for the goalkeeper but miss him. Knud Lundberg replied that he had tried that tactic without success. He declined an offer from an Italian club to become the second Danish professional football player, and instead focused on his studies in engineering at the Technical University of Denmark.
