On 16 July 1960, after take-off from Copenhagen Airport at 15.38 local time, a de Havilland Dragon Rapide plane (registration OY-DZY) chartered from Zonens Redningskorps by the Danish Football Association crashed into the Øresund, about 50 metres from shore, after the pilot lost control of the aircraft in severe weather.

A smaller plane waiting for clearance to take off when the accident occurred was due to carry four other players to the same match: Erik Dyreborg, Hans Christian Andersen, Bent Jørgensen, and Bjarne Eklund.
