Ole Bjur (born September 13, 1968) is a former Danish professional football (soccer) player, who played a total 384 matches for Danish club Brøndby IF, with whom he won three Danish Superliga championships. He played as an attacking midfielder or right midfielder, with a good technique and dribbling ability. He represented the Denmark national football team on three occasions, scoring one goal. In the later years Ole Bjur has got 2 children, where one of them (Peter Bjur) has got a promising career ahead. Peter used to play for Avarta, but has now moved on to play for B93, where he just this month (March 2017) got promoted to the first team, to be the first 17th year old to play senior at B93.
He is the younger brother of Danish footballer Jan Bjur.
Born in Rødovre, Bjur started playing football with Vanløse IF in the second-tier Danish 2nd Division. When the structure of Danish football was altered in 1991, Vanløse was placed in the second-tier Danish 1st Division. At Vanløse, Bjur showed himself as a forward with good finishing and eye for the game, and was named 1991 Danish 1st Division Player of the Year. This attracted the attention of defending Danish champions Brøndby IF, and Bjur moved to the top-flight Danish Superliga club in July 1991.
Under Brøndby manager Morten Olsen, Bjur saw a lot of playing time, but had a hard time scoring goals. When Brøndby hired new manager Ebbe Skovdahl in 1992, he went on to deploy Bjur in a right wingback position, where Bjur was immediately praised for his performance. From his wingback position, he would both engage in elegant, dribbling runs as well as hit precise crosses. In the opening of the 1993–94 Superliga season, Bjur saw a slump in form. He got his only red card while at Brøndby in September 1993, and was eventually left out of the Brøndby first team and played a number of games in the reserve team. He returned to form in October 1993, and became one of Brøndby's leading men for set pieces. With Skovdahls change of tactics, to a 3-4-3 formation in March 1994, Bjur was moved up to a forward position, behind the lone striker Mark Strudal, where he reproduced the attacking play of his Vanløse days.
