Peter Graulund

Domestic success (1995–2001)

Born in Brørup, Graulund played as a youth for Vejen SF and Kolding Boldklub before moving to Vejle Boldklub where he made his professional debut on 19 March 1995, aged 18, in a 1–0 win over Ikast FS. Head coach Ole Fritsen had promoted him to the first team, and he helped the club reach promotion to the Danish Superliga in his first season at the club. Before that, he had been a key player on the club's youth teams. In the 1996–97 season, he was part of the Vejle team that finished as runners-up in the Superliga alongside players such as Thomas Gravesen, Jesper Søgaard, Alex Nørlund and Jesper Mikkelsen. During that season, Graulund made 28 league appearances in which he scored five goals. In 1998, Graulund moved to Brøndby IF, where he initially struggled. However, in the 2000–01 season, he began playing more regularly under head coach Åge Hareide and finished a great season as top goalscorer in the Superliga.

Years abroad (2001–2004)

After becoming top scorer, Graulund signed with recently promoted German Bundesliga club VfL Bochum for DM 2.8 million, where he never got a breakthrough; after a long period as a reserve player, he was loaned out to AGF in February 2003. There, he had great success as a goal scorer, but when AGF due to a poor financial situation could not afford buy him out of his contract in Bochum, he instead continued his career with Swedish club Helsingborgs IF, where he played for two seasons.
