He’s known as one of football’s most interesting characters, known for partying all night long before matches. Being a heavy smoker and not taking care of his physique at times, Elkjær had a rough time with managers.
Despite all of this, he signed for Hellas Verona, where he played an active role in winning the Serie A title. For the Danish national team, he scored a total of 40 goals in 11 years, taking the country to new heights at Euro 1984 and the 1986 World Cup.
With his amazing strength, proficient dribbling and vibrant shots, Elkjær was awarded the Golden Boot in the World Cup. After giving up playing football, he coached Silkeborg IF and then headed TV sports channel TVS.
