Club career
Born in Frederiksberg on 4 October 1952,[1] Klaus Nørregaard grew up in Spurvegården, where he joined the youth ranks of Hvidovre IF and made his first-team debut on 10 May 1972 in a tournament match at home against Randers Freja.[2][3] He stayed with the club for four years, until 1976, playing a total of 121 matches for HIF's first team.[2][3] During this period, his career was briefly interrupted by his military service on Bornholm, where he played for Svaneke.[3][4]
A few years later, Nørregaard helped Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (KB) win the Danish championship in 1980, before returning to HIF for the 1981 and 1982 seasons.[2] He retired at Brøndby IF in 1983, with whom he played in 8 top-flight matches.[5]
International career
During his time with KB, Nørregaard earned a total of 9 international caps for Denmark,[5] making his debut on 2 February 1977 in a friendly match against Senegal, in which he came off the bench to score the winner (3–2).[6] His 9 caps came in the form of six friendlies, one Euro 1980 qualifier, and two in the 1978–80 Nordic Football Championship, which Denmark went on to win.[6] He also played one match each for Denmark U21 and Denmark B.[7]
