John Walther Christensen[2] (September 23, 1918 – December 1, 1965) was a Danish amateur footballer who played as a midfielder.
Christensen was described as one of the greatest Danish football talents of all time,[3] and was a well-balanced player who possessed a fine overview and performed delicate passes.
[6] Nevertheless, Christensen made his debut for the Danish national team under Magner in June 1939, as he scored a goal in a 6–3 victory against Norway.
[7] Christensen did deliver the odd bad performance, and was even sent off by Frem team captain Pauli Jørgensen during a game in May 1941 for not working hard enough.
[5] Off the field, Christensen was known to be a bit too fond of alcoholic beverages,[4] and his game began to suffer from bad form and lack of speed though his passing skills and technique were still making him an important part of the Frem team.
