Jan Mølby
Jan Mølby (Danish pronunciation: [ˈmølpy]; born 4 July 1963) is a Danish former professional footballer and manager. As a player, he was a midfielder from 1982 to 1998. After starting his career with Kolding, he moved on to Ajax before spending twelve years playing in England with Liverpool. He was capped 33 times by Denmark, scoring twice.
After leaving Liverpool he became player-manager of Swansea City, where he spent two years, and then managed Kidderminster Harriers, guiding them to promotion to the Football League in 2000. He later had a brief spell as manager of Hull City and then a brief spell back in charge of Kidderminster Harriers.
Born in Kolding, Mølby started his senior playing career at Kolding, before joining Ajax and then Liverpool. He made his Reds debut on 25 August 1984, in a 3–3 First Division draw with Norwich City at Carrow Road, scoring his first goal for the club on 1 December of that year, in a 3–1 league defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Mølby began to establish himself as a regular and successful penalty taker, starting with two penalties converted at home to Tottenham Hotspur in the league on 28 September 1985. Other fine performances included a brace in open play in a 3–0 home win over Aston Villa in the league on 7 December, and two goals (one a penalty) as they eliminated Manchester United from the Football League Cup in a 2–1 win at Anfield in late November.
Ahead of the 1987–88 season, Mølby broke his leg in pre-season training. He was then arrested for drink driving in February 1988.
In 1988–89, Mølby returned to regular first team football, playing in central defence in the absence of the injured Alan Hansen, and scoring the winning goal against Manchester United at Anfield in the second league game of the season. However, in October 1988 Mølby was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for reckless driving following an incident earlier in the year. On his release, he struggled with further injuries and his general fitness.
Over the first three Premier League seasons (Mølby's last), he started just over 30 games in total and all his goals came from penalties, including one in Liverpool's first game of the 1994–95 season when Mølby opened the scoring with a penalty in a 6–1 away win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Early in the 1995–96 season, manager Roy Evans loaned Mølby out to Barnsley and Norwich (where he scored once in the League Cup against Birmingham City). In February 1996, Mølby left Liverpool to take over as player-manager of Swansea City. Just before taking the job at the Vetch Field, Ron Atkinson unsuccessfully tried to sign him for Coventry City.
