[edit] Biography
Larsen started his professional career at Danish club Køge Boldklub in Køge, Denmark. In 2001, he was sold to multiple Danish championship winners Brøndby IF in the top-flight Danish Superliga. At Brøndby he did not enjoy much success, and only played a single game in the 2001--02 Superliga season, which Brøndby went on to win, although he became well known for his Bellyflop goal celebration, a result of which he was injured. He was sent on loan to fellow Danish club BK Frem by then-Brøndby manager Michael Laudrup. In 2004, he was sold to Swedish club Djurgårdens IF, playing just two matches before being sidelined for the remainder of 2004 with a groin injury. When Djurgården won 2005 Swedish Cup and the 2005 Allsvenskan Larsen was a key player until he was sold.
After a two month-long controversy Larsen was sold to German football club FC Schalke 04 on 31 July 2005, signing a four year contract.[1] At Schalke 04, he earned the nickname "Der Dänische Joker" (The Danish joker), "The Blonde Bomber" and "Die Waffe" (The weapon), referring to his ability to come on as a substitute and score the game-tying or -winning goal. He was, however, not able to keep up the good performances due to injuries, and he later lost his place in the Schalke team. He became fed up with his role on the bench and decided to look for a new club.
On 18 July 2008 he moved to Toulouse as a replacement for the outgoing Johan Elmander. On 24 January 2009, Søren scored his first four goals for the club in a 8--0 win against amateur team Schirrhein in the Coupe de France, but after one year he turned back to Germany and signed a one year loan deal with MSV Duisburg.[2] Larsen scored five goals in ten games and returned to Toulouse. In 2011 he moved to Feyenoord on loan. On 12 July 2011, despite having two years remaining on his contract, he left Toulouse by mutual consent.
[edit] International career
On 2 June 2005, Larsen was handed his international debut by Denmark manager Morten Olsen, when he came on as a substitute in the 1--0 win over Finland. He continued his good form by sensationally scoring six goals in his first five national team matches from June to September 2005. Larsen was named in Olsen's final 23-man squad for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Larsen has scored eleven goals in 20 games for Denmark.
