Career

Avarta and Brønshøj

Fosgaard came through the ranks of Avarta before being promoted to the first team, as the club competed in the Danish third tier.[2] After receiving interest from clubs in the Danish Superliga,[3] he moved to Brønshøj BK on 2 August 2010, a club that had recently been promoted to the Danish second tier.[4] He scored his first goal for his new club on 15 August, in a 3–1 away loss to AGF.[5] In general, Fosgaard had a strong start at Brønshøj, with the club in 4th place of the second tier before the winter break.[6] After another strong display during the spring, the club ended in 5th place. Fosgaard scored four goals in his first season for Brønshøj.[1]

The following season, Brønshøj struggled against relegation. Despite this, Fosgaard was one of the bright spots, scoring 7 goals as Brønshøj ended in eighth place, two points clear of relegation.[1][7]

Lyngby

On 31 August 2012, Fosgaard signed a three-year contract with Lyngby Boldklub, who had ended in fourth place of the second tier the season before.[8] Upon signing, Lyngby head coach Niels Frederiksen praised Fosgaard as a "hard worker" and a "strong finisher".[8] In Lyngby, Fosgaard grew out to become somewhat of a club legend, making more than 200 appearances and experiencing promotions, relegations, bronze medals and European football.[9]

Personal life

Fosgaard is the younger brother of Anders Fosgaard, who is the current assistant coach at Avarta, and Jesper Fosgaard. All three played together at Avarta.[10] They are sons of Bo Fosgaard who had a prolific tenure as a player for KB and Hvidovre IF during the 1980s.[11]

gollark: Well, it has a GUI (which I don't like personally, but meh), a package manager, and many useful libraries and programs.
gollark: What do you mean "better"? I'm not convinced that any OS actually is really *better* than CraftOS for things people actually use them for, except possibly Opus, primarily due to its good bundled programs/libraries.
gollark: Maybe I should add a hint...
gollark: I was *surprised* by how many people somehow *did not get it*.
gollark: The uninstall thing is meant to be mildly complex and prevent programs from automatically uninstalling it by queueing key events.
