International career

edit

Larsen earned 22 international caps for the Denmark national football team, a tally which could have been higher if it had not been for his fear of flying.[1] He made his debut for Denmark on 3 June 1974 at Københavns Idrætspark against rivals Sweden, with his direct opponent being striker Ralf Edström.[2] Denmark lost 2–0.[2]
