And very few other footballers in the 80's could probably fit that bill as well as the energetic Danish wide man, Jesper Olsen could. Jesper Olsen was a winger of mercurial skill, a player true to the spirit of the famous Ajax Amsterdam academy where he had been nurtured from a young age, moulded after the club's vision of technique, skill and speed sampled together in one body. He had now at the age of 26 for long been the kind of player able to single-handledly make a whole team of opponents feel dizzy once when starting the turbo engine and skipping past the first three defenders with his silky-like bursts of speed and technique. Exactly like the fly he was nicknamed after, he sped around the penalty box, gladly with the all on his feet, driving opponents mad with his unstoppable ability. On the national team, Jesper Olsen's legacy will remain as one of the most mythical ones for years to come. He was the player who (arguably) started the Dynamite era (there's a bit of dispute to when this era should be considered to have actually started) by scoring a miracolous solo goal past England's Peter Shilton in stoppage time to keep Denmark alive in the qualification for EURO '84. And having been a vital part of the team which started an era following this geal, he also sealed its fate four years later when he delivered a sloppy backpass for Emilio Butragueño to pick out and safely slot in behind Lars Høgh. Here started the dramatic downfall of the Danish Dynamite squad who would crash out from that very game with a 5-1 routing, conceeding four of them in the second half, and Butragueño scoring four of them as well. Denmark's one goal had been scored from the penalty spot previously in the first half by none other than Jesper Olsen who had played a splendid game right up until the fatal moment in the dying lapses of the first period. Since that game, a sloppy backpass has always been coined 'a Jesper Olsen' in the Danish terminology. _________________ Don't know when and if I will be back...
