Thomas Augustinussen (born March 20, 1981) is a Danish professional footballer. He began his career as a striker, but moved gradually into the holding midfielder position. He made his senior debut with AaB, with whom he played 283 games and won the 2008 Danish Superliga championship. He has been capped twice for the Denmark national football team. ==Club career== Augustinussen started his career with AaB. Due to his height of 192 cm and good speed, Augustinussen played his first years as a striker. He made his Danish Superliga debut for AaB in April 2000. He was a successful striker in his youth years, but had difficulty finding his goalscoring form as a senior. As he only managed to score 11 goals in his first three-and-a-half years as a senior, Augustinussen was stamped by a media pundit as being "not the fastest moped on the dockside" ("''ikke den hurtigste knallert på havnen''") in August 2003,〔Michael Ravn, "Augustinussen svarede igen med hattrick", Onside.dk, August 14, 2003.〕〔 and did not look like cutting it at the highest sporting level of Danish football. However, Augustinussen was moved back to the centre midfield by new AaB coach Erik Hamren, where he established himself as a consistent part of the starting line-up.〔Bjarne Nielsen, "Der er knald på Augu", Ekstra Bladet, March 19, 2005〕 He suffered a knee injury in October 2006, but returned to the AaB side in August 2007, and helped the team win the 2007–08 Superliga championship. He was named team captain from the beginning of the 2008–09 season, and led AaB in the 2008-09 UEFA Champions League tournament. In total, he played 283 games and scored 36 goals for AaB, including 223 games and 29 goals in the Superliga until May 2009. In April 2009, he signed a three-year contract with Austrian club FC Red Bull Salzburg, effective from July 2009. After one-and-a-half year in Salzburg, Augustinussen was released from Salzburg of his own will.〔http://www.bold.dk/nyt/Augo-Salzburg-ville-beholde-mig〕 On 30 January 2011 AaB announced that they had signed Augustinussen on a three-year contract.〔http://www.aabsport.dk/B02F4995-D1D5-46F6-A65B-4C8D024B2652.W5Doc?id=A14A6EC7-15A6-4D99-9318-B632447210B5〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Augustinussen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
