Claus Bech Jørgensen

Claus Bech Jørgensen (born 27 April 1976) is a Faroese former professional footballer who is a youth team coach at AaB.

He first established himself as a player in the Danish Football League with Holstebro BK, AGF Aarhus and AC Horsens, though did not make the Superliga.

On 7 August, he made his debut in the English game; the Dean Court faithful witnessed a 2–1 victory over Cambridge United.

"On 2 September 2000, he had a mixed time at Layer Road, scoring in the 44th minute, he was sent off on the 69th, bringing Bournemouth down to nine men.

[7] This unusual feat almost equalled the record held by Dixie Dean, who scored nine goals in nine successive league games.

There was talk of an exodus from Valley Parade as the cash-strapped club struggled to offer new deals to its players.

[13][14] He played seventeen games for the "Cherries" before returning to the Highfield Road for an end of season clash with Crystal Palace.

In 2004–05 he once again was on the sidelines, partly due to a rib injury he suffered while playing for the Faroe Islands in their World Cup qualification game away to Cyprus.

[16] Jørgensen became the first ever player to score at the Ricoh Arena, on 20 August 2005, in a 3–0 win against Queens Park Rangers.

He made his 100th league appearance for the "Seasiders" on 3 May 2009, the final day of the 2008–09 season, in a 1–0 win over Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.

"In August 2009 he joined League Two club Port Vale on trial – he had served under manager Micky Adams at Coventry.

[21][22] He quickly joined on a non-contract basis, in order that he might be selected for first-team football,[23][24] this meant he could not be paid for his services.

"[28] He spent the summer of 2010 training with Conference club Tamworth, after manager Gary Mills seemed keen to offer him a contract.

[29] No deal materialized however, and he retired from playing to focus on football coaching along with running his restorative floor cleaning company, Unique Floorcare.

His only international goal, a glancing header into the far corner of the net, came in a 2–2 draw at Cyprus' GSP Stadium on 9 October 2004.
