 * Comment I found these sources through a quick web search: https://politiken.dk/navne/foedselsdage/art5439817/Allan-Nielsen, https://fyens.dk/artikel/allan-skæg-nielsen-tog-plads, https://www.ob.dk/nyhedsarkiv/allan-skaeg-nielsen-jeg-taenker-tilbage-paa-tiden-i-ob-med-stor-glaede-og-tilfredshed/ I'm sure a search of Danish and Dutch newspaper archives would throw up a lot more as this player was active in a time before the internet. He played abroad around 1980 which wasn't that common at the time. Robby.is.on (talk) 10:42, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
