EURO best: winners (1992)
To every Dane – not only football fans – 1992 is immediately associated with one of the country s finest hours. It was a summer in which Richard Møller Nielsen s Denmark team surprised everyone – perhaps including themselves – by lifting the EURO trophy in Sweden. The images from Copenhagen city centre, the songs, the goals from John ‘Faxe Jensen and Kim Vilfort, the saves from Peter Schmeichel; there are enough treasured memories to last a lifetime.
Key players
Christian Eriksen (103 caps, 36 goals)
Denmark s creative focal point. Eriksen will only be 29 by the time EURO rolls around but already has more than a century of caps and a whole lot of international experience. He ll remain vital to Kasper Hjulmand s plans regardless of any shortage of playing time at club level.
