Why he might be annoying:

    He couldn't handle the structured manner of a German locker room, which led to his departure from Köln.
    He sarcastically told his coach in Köln when asked about his escapade at the nightclub that he wasn't there with a lady and a bottle of whiskey, he was actually there with two ladies and a bottle of vodka instead.
    He struggled with injuries and trying to live up to expectations upon signing in Vejle.
    He was a heavy smoker during his playing career.
    His style of play was considered extremely aggressive by soccer pundits.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was considered one of the greatest professional athletes to come from Denmark.
    He was a member of the Hellas Verona F.C. team that won their first Serie A championship (1985).
    His goal in that particular game is remembered for continuing with the play, despite losing his right cleat and shooting it on goal with his cleatless foot.
    He employed an unorthodox playing style, which saw him play aggressive and dribble the ball effectively.
    He, along with Danish teammate Michael Laudrup, were considered the most effective attacking duo at the 1986 World Cup.
