Chelsea had a defender in the early 90s who may have qualified (not Erland Johnsen, the other one).
Kjeldberg?

[Nevermind, he's Norwegian]
All correct. The teams that each remaining Dane scored for:
22 - (Bolton Wanderers)
5 - (Southampton)
5 - (West Ham United)
3 - (Derby County)
1 - (West Bromwich Albion)
1 - (Ipswich Town)
1 - (Bolton Wanderers)
1 - (Bolton Wanderers)
1 - (Blackburn Rovers)
1 - (Cardiff City)
Pedersen .
Southampton guy is from the early 90s but can't even begin to remember his name.
Kenneth Zohore for Cardiff
The Southampton player was a striker who never played for the national team, but also spent time on loan with Manchester City and Coventry City (where he didn't actually play a game). Also scored a goal for Walsall in 2000-01.
Albrechtsen (sp) for the West Brom one?
Both the spelling and player is correct. 7 to get but they are fairly tough now so might drop some clues in soon.
Johansen, Pedersen & Bo Hansen - Bolton.
All correct. Bolton loved signing up the Danes. 5 to go - goalscorers for Southampton, West Ham, Derby, Ipswich and Blackburn.
Marc Rieper
Claus Thomsen
Both correct, but Thomsen had already been said. Rieper scored 5 goals for West Ham. Some clues for the last 4:
5 - (Southampton) - Spent one season on loan from Barcelona at Southampton, in 94-95. Very injury prone and spent a lot of time on trial or on loan after leaving Barca, before settling in the US in the early 2000s.
3 - (Derby County) - Spent 4 years at Derby, making over 100 appearances, after moving from Silkeborg in 1996. Also spent time at Leicester and Wolves later in his career.
1 - (Ipswich Town) - Centre back who also played for West Brom, scored a number of goals for both clubs in the Championship too.
1 - (Blackburn Rovers) - Scored once for Blackburn, away at Chelsea. Was the most expensive player to be sold by a Danish club, when he moved for £2.5m from Odense to Blackburn. Scored 4 goals in one international game.
Jacob Laursen
Knew mentioning that short spell with Leicester would help! 3 to get.
The last three missing Danes were Ronnie Ekelund, Thomas Gaardsoe and Per Pedersen. The full list of Danish PL goalscorers is as follows:
51 – Christian Eriksen (Tottenham Hotspur)
32 – Nicklas Bendtner (Arsenal, Sunderland)
22 – Henrik Pedersen (Bolton Wanderers)
20 – Claus Jensen (Charlton Athletic, Fulham)
12 – Mikkel Beck (Middlesbrough, Derby County)

1 – Peter Schmeichel (Aston Villa)

Something a little different for the next question. Across the following selection of 25 leagues, there are 46 players who have scored 20 or more goals for club and country so far this season. Can you name them all? Some of the answers are pretty clear, but there are a few I doubt anyone will get. Just fancied mixing up the questions.
Top 2 leagues from:
Spain
England
Germany
Italy
France
And the top league from:
Portugal
Russia
Belgium
Netherlands
Ukraine
Turkey
Austria
Denmark
Scotland
Czech Republic
Cyprus
Greece
Switzerland
Serbia
Croatia
If you'd all prefer to stick to the nationality goalscorer questions, I can go back to that. Got 3 big lists ready to go.
I’ll bite:
Marcus rashford
Salah
Ciro Immobile
Cristiano Ronaldo
Aguero
Lukaku
Ilicic
Vardy
Aubameyang
Mane
Mbappe
Dembele
Haaland
Sancho
Werner
Lewa
I think Rashford has just missed out on that but only bt one or two. Can't remember what it said in the thing I read about his injury earlier.
Which Dembele are you referring to?
Lewandowski and Haaland top the chart, with 43 and 40 goals apiece.
Rashford has 22 goals for club and country this season.
Vardy and Sancho have 19 goals, and Mane 18.
Morelos and Edouard in the SPL.
Sam Cosgrove won't be far off either if you're allowing cup goals.
Moussa.
Did Bruno Fernandes nab a goal or two for Portugal? He must be close.
Pizzi for Benfica?
Morelos is one of only 7 to have reached 30 goals in total. Cosgrove has 23 so far, and there's one other from the SPL.
Fernandes is one short on 19.
I haven't got a fucking clue who is doing what nowadays. Do you need to play FM to keep up or is it having BT Sport? Or just be younger than 31?
Playing FM again has helped significantly.
The list so far:
43 – Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich, Poland)
40 – Erling Braut Haland (RB Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund)
35 – Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus, Portugal)
33 – Ciro Immobile (Lazio, Italy)
32 –

Players still remaining from the Prem, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, as well as the Dutch and Belgian leagues, to name a few.
Raul Jiminez
Danny Ings
Mitrovic
Mitrovic up in 5th spot with 32 goals so far. Ings just misses out with 18 goals.
Messi
Neymar
Ben Yedder
Ben Yedder sneaks in with 20 goals. Neymar misses out with 19 for club and country.
Messi
Benzema
Neymar
Edit: screw you, SvN
Benzema also has 19, so just misses out.
Stuani is a cert. Nakhi Wells as a long shot.
Both correct. Wells has 15 for QPR, 2 for Bristol City and 3 for Bermuda this season. Still one Championship player to get.
Wells is a brilliant shout.

Back to the nationality questions we'll go, and this is a fairly big one. There have been 87 Dutch goal scorers in the Premier League - name them all.
Ken Monkou
Not the player I thought would get guessed first, but Monkou is correct, with 10 goals for Southampton.
Alright well Jimmy got the obvious so I'll go for the next most famous: Alexander Buttner.
Van Persie
Van Nistelrooy
Bergkamp
Van Dijk
Robben
Wijnaldum
Wilfred Bouma (he was in the Guardian's underrated players thing today, only reason he comes to mind)
How could I forget Dirk Kuyt
Did Chelsea ever wake Bogarde up for long enough for him to get one?
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
