Holger Seebach

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 was selected for the Danish national team, during this period he played for AB and won four Danish championships. Seebach was an 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.
