So far the most famous I've found:

1952 - Allan Simonsen, Danish footballer

Allan Rodenkam Simonsen (born December 15, 1952 in Copenhagen) is a former Danish football (soccer) player and now coach. Allan Simonsen remains the only footballer to score in the European Cup, UEFA Cup, and Cup Winners' Cup finals, and he was named European Footballer of the Year in 1977. For the Denmark national football team, Simonsen was capped 56 times, scoring 21 goals. He also participated in the 1972 Summer Olympics.

On the club level, Simonsen played for Vejle BK, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Barcelona and Charlton Athletic. When playing for Barcelona in 1982, the signing of Diego Maradona forced them to sell the popular Dane due to Spanish League restrictions on the number of foreign players allowed in each squad. He was transfer listed, and in a shock move switched to English Division 2 side Charlton for £300,000. Despite scoring seven times in 16 appearances, the club had trouble funding his wages, and he was put up for sale. Despite offers from Tottenham Hotspur and several Italian Serie A clubs he chose to return to Vejle BK.

Following his retirement in 1989, he went on to coach his former club Vejle BK for two years. He went on to coach the national teams of the Faroe Islands from 1994 to 2001 and Luxembourg from 2001 to 2004.

Not really anyone of importance that is playing right now. The only one that comes to mind is Joe Jordan who played with Leeds in the 70's, he also played in three world cups, and was nicknamed jaws.
