Ove Jensen (November 7, 1919 – April 22, 2011) was a Danish amateur footballer,[1] who played 12 games for the Denmark national football team and was an unused substitute as Denmark won bronze medals at the 1948 Summer Olympics.[2] He was a quick and very elegant goalkeeper, who modeled his game on legendary Danish international goalkeeper Svend Jensen.[3] He played his club football with B.93, and made his international debut in 1945. He competed for the Danish goalkeeper spot with Egon Sørensen and Eigil Nielsen.[3] In 1947, Jensen was selected for the Europe XI team, but was an unused substitute as the team lost 1-6 to the Great Britain national football team at Hampden Park.[3] Jensen played 12 international games until 1948, when he was eclipsed by Eigil Nielsen.
