Source-derived summary

Jørgen Henriksen (born 16 July 1942) is a Danish former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He made five appearances for the Denmark national team from 1967 to 1972.

Henriksen joined Hvidovre from Dalgas at a time when transfers between Danish clubs were rare. John Worbye, who had played as the club's goalkeeper through the youth teams, had to convert to being a left back to remain in the team, eventually becoming a club and international regular in the position.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Jørgen Henriksen” as association football player. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Jørgen, Henriksen and association.

Editorial reviewStrongest as a route into the people, institutions and dated events that shaped the subject’s public record. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1942, 1967, 1972—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1942-07-16. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Jørgen, Henriksen and association providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Jørgen Henriksen”, the useful work is to connect “association football player” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 26, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q18225179. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1942, 1967 and 1972.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
