David Nielsen (footballer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Jean Nielsen (born December 1, 1976) is a Danish professional football (soccer) player, who currently plays at Norwegian club I.K. Start. He has played for a number of Danish clubs, as well as Fortuna Düsseldorf in Germany and English clubs Grimsby Town, Wimbledon and Norwich City. His greatest triumph was the 1997 Danish Cup victory, which he won with Danish club F.C. Copenhagen. He played 46 matches and scored 33 goals for various Danish youth national teams between 1992 and 1997, but he has never represented the Danish senior national team.
Whilst playing for Norwich City FC he was a member of the team that reached the final of the Division One play-offs in May 2002. He had initially joined the Canaries on loan in December 2001 and scored 6 goals in 6 games during his loan spell, prompting Norwich manager Nigel Worthington to pay £210,000 to Wimbledon to secure his services on a permanent basis. However, he was unable to maintain his initial impressive scoring rate and left the club at his own request to return to Denmark in August 2003.
