From Aston Villa to Copenhagen

Marcus Allback, the former Premier League star who played for Aston Villa, had a career revival in the Danish capital. After failing to make a name for himself at Aston Villa, Allback found success in Copenhagen.

A Historic Winner Against Man Utd

Allback, now 50, made history by scoring against Manchester United for Copenhagen in the Champions League. His scrappy finish resulted in a shock 1-0 loss for United and secured Copenhagen's first Champions League goal in 2006.

Forever Remembered in Denmark

Allback's goal against Manchester United is still talked about to this day. The former striker stated that the goal was his only chance in the game and despite it being a "crappy" goal, it has left a lasting impact in Denmark. Allback continues to be recognized in Denmark because of that goal.

A Baby Named Marcus

Allback shared a heartwarming story from a few years ago when a woman approached him in Copenhagen. She explained that she was pregnant when she attended the game against United and decided to name her son Marcus after Allback, in honor of his historic goal. The former striker found it surreal that his "crappy" goal had such an impact on someone's life.

Copenhagen's Chance for Revenge

Allback believes that Copenhagen has a chance of defeating Manchester United once again. Despite United's recent win against Fulham, Allback states that they are not the force they used to be. He believes Copenhagen, the biggest club in Scandinavia, is more than capable of beating them and securing a victory.
