In 1992, he moved to GÍ Gøta to win a Faroese championship medal four times in a row between 1993 and 1996.
He is famous for his 65 appearances for the Faroe Islands national football team,[1] and his penchant for wearing a white, wooly bobble hat.
The Faroe Islands pulled off one of the most famous upsets in football history in their first official competitive match, by beating then World Cup 1990 competitors Austria 1–0 in a UEFA 92 qualifier.
A running gag seen in the sketch, was two people dressed as Egyptian pharaohs, getting confused thinking the islands are near there hence the name, only to be told by Frank Skinner "You've got it all wrong, the Faroe Islands are near Iceland", only to receive a reply in a stereotypical Egyptian accent of "Oh you mean the freezer place on the high street!".
Jens is later seen standing outside an outlet of the store holding up a piece of card reading "FAROE ISLANDS".
