Marius Kryger Lindh
Danish footballer (born 1999)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marius Kryger Lindh (born 22 June 1999) is a Danish professional footballer who currently plays in the Faroe Islands Premier League for NSÍ Runavík as attacking midfielder.[1][2] In 2026 Marius Kryger Lindh made history, by becoming the first one-armed footballer to score in European club competition since the 1963/64 season. He scored an important 2-0 goal, when his Faroese club NSÍ Runavik turned a 0–2 home loss to the Slovenian side FC Koper into an overall victory after penalties. The previous—and until now only—such case occurred almost 63 years ago, when Northern Irish striker Jimmy Hasty of Dundalk found the net against FC Zürich in the European Cup.[3]
