That's an easy one. The best known Dane is obviously Peter Schmeichel :) The bubble of football/soccer fans is a quite populous place.

The first Danes that came to my mind were actually the Laudrup brothers. But I guess that proves the point of how biased one is. I am a German who grew up in the 90s. I gotta know football stars from my childhood.

However, I'm unable to think of anyone from Argentina that is more famous than Maradonna even if I try to be as objective as possible, the only competition I can think of is Messi.

No way, it's gotta be Nicklas Bendtner. At least according to Nicklas Bendtner.

Morten Lund should be an obvious name to HNers, I would think.

Obviously it's Bjarne Riis, everyone knows him.
