Which Dane loves the pop duo Nik & Jay, and who has a tattoo saying 'Death is certain, its hour is not'? Find out here
This article is part of the Guardian's Euro 2012 Experts' Network, a co-operation between 16 of the best media organisations from the countries who have qualified for the finals in Poland and Ukraine. guardian.co.uk is running previews from two countries each day in the runup to the tournament kicking off on 8 June.
Dennis Rommedahl, Brondby IF
The winger is a very special guy. He loves the Danish pop duo Nik & Jay, whose fans are predominantly teenage girls. He once wrote "boing, boing" on a T-shirt and wore it under the Danish shirt during an international. It's the title of one of Nik & Jay's songs. When he scored in the game he took off his shirt to show the T-shirt, and was promptly booked.
Christian Poulsen, Evian
The former Danish captain was very grateful for his old club FC Copenhagen when he moved to Schalke in Germany in 2002. For that reason he transferred a lot of the money he earned in his first year in Germany back to the club. The coaches received a certain amount because Poulsen was of the opinion that they had developed him to the player he was. In addition, he also gave a large amount to the players' fine fund.
Anders Lindegaard, Manchester United
The goalkeeper played for a very small club in Norway before joining the English giants. He has always been a great fan of Manchester United and, as a child, of the Danish keeper Peter Schmeichel. Therefore he could not believe that United wanted to buy him. In the months before the transfer Lindegaard just lay on his couch staring up at the ceiling, smiling at what was happening to him.
Daniel Agger, Liverpool
The Denmark captain has been plagued by injuries during his time at Liverpool. In 2009, his back got so bad that he thought about quitting football. His back is completely covered by a giant tattoo with things such as the Latin proverb "Mors Certa, Hora Incerta" across the top of his back, meaning "Death is certain, its hour is not" and inscriptions on his ankles along the lines of "Pain is temporary, victory is forever". Raul Meireles, when he was at Liverpool, said that he often asked Agger and Martin Skrtel where they went to have theirs done and said his aim was to one day catch Agger when it came to the amount of tattoos.
William Kvist, Stuttgart, and Niki Zimling, Club Brugge
The two played together at KB when they were boys and are now likely to form the central midfield for Denmark in an international tournament. Kvist says: "We know each other well on the pitch. Niki is more attacking but we can both play the 'No6' role in our own way. He is very good at bringing the ball forward, whereas I am more defensive."
