Do you mean John \'Faxe\' Jensen, the Danish footballer?
Then no. Personally, I\'d always thought no one could possibly beat Preben Elkjær 
Just my opinion....

but I\'d still agree with CD on this one. And then of course there\'s Preben\'s little brother, Brian! I suppose I\'m biased here, though, since he played for a Scottish team. Still find it hard to keep a straight face when the Danish TV commentators go on about \"Glasgow Rangers\"

It took JJ as he was known here 2.5 years to score his first goal. All the Arsenal fans bought t-shirts emblazoned with the legend: \"I was there when John Jensen scored for Arsenal.\"

I\'m not a great football fan my self, but in Denmark I think Faxe will primarily be remembered for scoring one of the goals in the 2-0 victory over Germany in the 1992 European Championships!
PS: Never heard of Brian Elkjær  , but Brian Laudrup was pretty good in his days (and a member of the 1992 team).

I don\'t know Brian Elkjær either, but the combination would make one hell of a football player, I\'m sure!
