Susanne "Susy" Augustesen (born 10 May 1956) is a Danish former international footballer who played club football for many years in Italy.
Club career
[edit]In a professional career spanning some 20 years,[1] Augustesen scored over 600 goals in Italy's top flight. She was the Serie A top goalscorer on eight occasions.[2]
International career
[edit]In September 1971, 15-year-old Augustesen scored a hat-trick for Denmark in the final of an unofficial World Cup. The Danes beat hosts Mexico 3–0 before 110,000 spectators at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.[3] Augustesen, who had needed her parents' permission to attend the tournament, scored all three goals with her left foot.[4]
The Danish Football Association (DBU) took over the running of women's football and launched an official national team in 1972. There remained some ambivalence and matches arranged were sporadic. Despite a highly successful professional career in Italy, Augustesen was never called–up to the DBU team.[5]
