The following years he established himself as OB's starting goalkeeper, and debuted for the Danish under-21 national team in March 1979. He was a part of the OB team which won the 1982 Danish championship and 1983 Danish Cup, and was called up for the Danish national team by national team manager Sepp Piontek. He made his national team debut in May 1983, and was a part of the Danish team at the 1986 World Cup.
