About Knud Børge Overgaard
- Knud Børge Overgaard (21 March 1918 – 20 October 1985) was a Danish amateur footballer who played 8 games for the Denmark national football team, and won a bronze medal at the 1948 Summer Olympics.
- He played his club football with B.93. Overgaard was an excellent wing half-back with good physicality and tackling ability.
- He started his career with Aarhus club AGF, but was not selected for the Danish national team, until he moved to Copenhagen club B.93.
- Overgaard got his international debut for Denmark in 1945, but had to compete with Børge Mathiesen, Ivan Jensen, and Viggo Jensen for the wing half-back spot.
- Just before the 1948 Summer Olympics, regular Danish defender Knud Bastrup-Birk was injured, and Overgaard was moved out of position to cover as a full-back.
- In a defensive pairing with Viggo Jensen, the two out-of-position players did better than expected, and Denmark won bronze medals at the tournament.
- Following the Olympics, Overgaard's international career ended.
