[4] Viggo Jensen was a physically strong player with a great fitness and tackling ability,[5] as well as flair and technique.

[6] Jensen got his international debut in June 1945, and was a part of the amateur-only Danish national team until October 1948.

[6] Jensen's versatility saw him deployed in a number of positions for the national team, as injury or bad form among his teammates dictated, though usually as a wing half back.

Here he filled in for injured Poul Petersen as right full back, and played all four games as Denmark won bronze medals.

[6] After the London Olympics, Jensen moved to play for English 2nd Division team Hull City from October 1948 to November 1956,[7] appearing in 308 Football League matches and scoring 51 goals.
