John Dahl Tomasson is a Danish football (soccer) play currently plays for German Bundes Liga side VfB Stuttgart. A much-travelled striker with a knack of scoring crucial goals, the predatory Jon Dahl Tomasson is Denmark’s primary attacking threat. JDT is one of the best supporting striker of all time. He is the most under-rated player in the world today. But for me he is a Soccer Legend. He is my all time favorite soccer player.

What a goal celebration style!



 Why I likes JDT?

I started taking interest in soccer during the world cup 2002, though my favorite team Argentina lost in that world cup. Zidane, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Batistuta & Vieri were the players to watch in that world cup. I saw JDT scoring two amazing goals against Uruguay. I felt some thing different in his personality. I was a bit attracted towards him. I followed him through in that world cup. But when Denmark lost 3-0 to England in the pre-quarter finals & JDT went out of the cup without winning the golden boot award, I was extremely disappointed for him. I then realized how much I liked him.So from then he has been among my favorite players. But now he on the top of my all-time favorite players



 



 JDT’s playing career

Tomasson's Denmark debut came in Croatia in March 1997, and although he missed out on the 1998 World Cup, he played at Euro 2000. He also played in the following edition of both tournaments, scoring four goals in the 2002 World Cup and three in Euro 2004, where he made the All-Star Squad. He joined his current club AC Milan in 2002 summer.

 It was Jon Dahl Tomasson who knocked out Zidane, Henry, Pires, Thuram, Viera, Pitit and Trezeguet from that world cup by scoring the winning goal against France in their last group match.

This was beginning of one of the greatest Danish players of all-time

1997

JDT was transfered to Newcastle United who paid 3.9 million pounds for him

Instead of partnering Alan Shearer, JDT was asked to play as a winger, which caused him problems. His stay at Newcastle was not a hit

1998

JDT was not picked for Danish squad in World Cup 1998

The main reason of dropping him was his disappointing season at Newcastle

1 goal against France

2002

Danish footballer of the year award

JDT’s 1st Danish Footballer of the year award

2003

JDT joined the best club in the world today, the Italian giants, AC Milan

Becoming AC Milan player is the ultimate for any player

2003

 

Scored the last minute winning goal for AC Milan against Ajax in the quarterfinal of Champions League. AC Milan won 3-2 at San Siro in one of the best matches of all time

Because of JDT's goal AC Milan reached the semi final & then go on to win the Champions League in 2003. But it would have not been possible without JDT's last minute goal against Ajax

 

2003

AC Milan reached the final of World Club competition. At the full whistle the score was 1-1

JDT scored the only AC Milan goal in the final but AC Milan lost that final on penalties to Argentine club Boca Juniors

2003

 

JDT scored an 85th minute winning goal against England in a friendly match. Denmark won 3-2

It was JDT's revenge of 2002 world cup loss to England in the pre-quarterfinal match

2004

 

 

Played a major role in Denmark's qualification for Euro 2004 in Portugal

JDT scores about 80% of Danish goals since becoming their #1 striker

2004

 

Danish Footballer of the year award

JDT has won this award 3 times

2002-2003-2004

2004

 

 

AC Milan won the Italian league, the Scudetto (2003-2004)

This was Milan’s 17th Scudetto

JDT was a key member of a three men attack of AC Milan comprising Sheva & Kaka also. This three men attack was unstoppable for the Serie-A defenders as they scored round about 50 goals. JDT played his part with 12 goals as a supporting striker to Sheva. His strike rate was 1 goal in every 3rd match, which was excellent for a supporting striker

2005

JDT came as a substitute in the final replacing the great Argentine Hernan Crespo of the Champions League, where AC Milan lost a 3-0 lead against Liverpool in the 2nd half.

In the most dramatic ends JDT missed a great chance of giving his side the Champions League trophy. A perfect cross by Sheva was missed by inches by JDT in front of the goal post. On any other day it would have been a classic JDT goal, But that day “LUCK” was against AC Milan, because Shevchenko also missed two clear-cut chances at the end & eventually missed a penalty. But you can’t blame either Sheva or JDT, because they both did their best. The ones to be blamed in the final are Gattuso & Dida

2005

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scored a 90th minute goal against PSV in the 1st leg of the semi final of the Champions League, which helped AC Milan to reach the final of the Champions League for the 2nd time in 3 years
