Mads Junker Biography
Mads Junker (born 21 April 1981) is a retired Danish football striker who played as a striker. He played seven matches for the Danish national team.
Born in Copenhagen, Junker had his debut in the Danish Superliga in 2000, playing for Lyngby BK while attending High School on the side. Although attracting attention from abroad, he signed with Brøndby IF in December 2001 on a four-year contract. Due to financial difficulties in Lyngby BK he was allowed to leave on a free transfer. Junker was never a great success and was allowed to go on loan to First Division side Ølstykke FC. Junker did not fit into the 4–2–3–1 system favoured by Brøndby manager Michael Laudrup and in 2004 he was sold to FC Nordsjælland.
During the winter break, Junker signed with Eredivisie side Vitesse Arnhem for a fee of 10 million DKK as a replacement for Matthew Amoah. He made his debut against Feyenoord, but had to be substituted after an hours play due to a hip injury. Junker scored his first goal in the home game against Heerenveen. In total he managed 9 goals for Vitesse in the second half of the 2004–05 season.
Junker made his first appearance for the Danish national team on 16 August 2006 in the friendly against Poland, when he replaced Nicklas Bendtner in the 67′ minute. Before this he had played 6 games for the U-21 team, 5 games for the U-20 team and 2 games for the U-19 team.
After the end of the 2006–07 season Utrecht were reportedly still interested, but Vitesse refuse to sell the player who was supposed to have a greater role in the upcoming season.
During his first season in Vitesse, Junker was asked for advice when Vitesse looked into the possibility of signing his former team mate from FC Nordsjælland, Anders Due. Vitesse signed Due for a fee of 10 million DKK in July 2006.
In July 2010, Junker signed with Roda JC. The season before, he had already played for the club on loan, in which he scored 21 league goals in 34 matches.
After the gambling incident Junker became increasingly modest, always praising team performance instead of personal ability. Whether this had an influence is unknown, but Junker finally found the stability that had been lacking. Citing the 4–4–2 system and his team as a major factor, Junker scored 15 goals in first half of the season, thus once again attracting attention from abroad.
His second season got off to a wrong start as Junker was caught red handed cheating his team mates in a series of poker games. In total Junker swindled his team mates out of 100.000–150.000 DKK. Junker said his desire to win had caused him to use dishonest means, and stated that the incident had taught him a lesson as well as cost a few friendships. As punishment he was replaced as vice-captain by Kim Christensen.
In July 2014, Junker signed for the Indian Super League side Delhi Dynamos FC and he wore the No. 9 jersey for the club. Junker made his first appearance in the Indian Super League for Delhi Dynamos FC on 14 October 2014 vs. FC Pune City. He scored his first goal (which was the first headed goal in Indian Super League) against Chennaiyin FC on 25 October at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi.
