Ruben Bagger (Born January 16, 1972) is a former Danish football (soccer) player, who spent his entire professional career for Brøndby IF in the Danish Superliga, and played more than 300 matches for the club. He played in the position of left winger or forward.

Biography

He played for Danish amateur clubs before moving to Brøndby IF in the summer 1993. [Steen Uno, "Ebbe tester ung bomber", "B.T.", 13 November, 1993] He became a part of the senior team under Brøndby manager Ebbe Skovdahl. He debuted on November 14, 1993, when he came on as a substitute in the 1-0 win against Ikast fS. Bagger signed a fully professional two-year contract with Brøndby in July 1994, and went on to compete with a host of Danish international forwards. He initially competed with Bo Hansen for a place in the starting line-up alongside Mark Strudal. When Strudal left the club in July 1995, Bagger saw renewed competition from forwards Peter Møller and Ebbe Sand.

From 1996 to 1998, Bagger was a part of a Brøndby team which won three Danish Superliga championships in a row, as well as the 1998 Danish Cup. In the European competitions, Bagger first made his mark, when he scored twice in the games against German team Karlsruher SC in the 1996-97 UEFA Cup. Brøndby were trailing 0-3 in the first game against Karlsruher, when Bagger reduced to 1-3 in the dying moments of the game. When the two teams met two weeks later, Bagger opened the score in a game which Brøndby won 5-0, beating Karlsruher 6-3 on aggregate. He also took part in Brøndby's 1998-99 UEFA Champions League participation. Bagger set a Brøndby scoring record of 12 goals in 51 European games.

His best season came, when he scored 13 goals to help Brøndby win the 2001-02 Superliga championship. Under new manager Michael Laudrup, Bagger saw less playing time. Since 2003, he was plagued by lesser or larger injuries, though he emerged to score in Brøndby's 2003 and 2005 Danish Cup triumphs. Bagger retired in December 2007, having played a combined total of 338 games for Brøndby, scoring 88 goals.
