Jørgen Ravn (3 June 1940 – 4 June 2015), alternatively spelled Jørn Ravn, was a Danish football player.
He played as an amateur for Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (KB) in Denmark, and became topscorer in the 1st Division in 1961 and 1964. He moved abroad to play professionally for Aberdeen in Scotland in 1965,[1] after being signed by Tommy Pearson alongside compatriots Jens Petersen and Leif Mortensen.[2]
One and a half years later he returned to his native country. After a two years penalty for having played as a professional (mandatory in these years' Danish football), he continued to play for KB some years.
He got 10 caps and scored five goals for the Denmark national under-21 football team. He also played once for his country's B-squad.
Married to Inger, Ravn worked for over 25 years for Tuborg. He died on 4 June 2015, one day after his 75th birthday.[3]
