Arne Karlsen (13 October 1939 – 16 July 1960) was a Danish footballer.[1] He played in three matches for the Denmark national football team from 1959 to 1960.[2]
Karlsen was one of eight Danish footballers killed in a 1960 air disaster where the plane that was to transport the players to a national team training camp in Herning crashed into the sea in Øresund, just after takeoff from Copenhagen Airport.
