Michael Julius Gravgaard is a Danish former professional footballer who played as a centre back. He began his career at Randers Freja. During his stay at Viborg, he occasionally played as a forward. With Copenhagen, he won the league title twice. His international career took place from August 2005 until September 2007, during which he played 18 matches and scored five goals for the Denmark national team. He effectively ended his playing career at Nantes in May 2010. Despite the fact of having a contract with Nantes until July 2011, the club were not interested to honour the contract, and opted instead in May 2010, to try to file him as "lifetime injured" towards their insurance company. When this attempt ultimately got unapproved by the French authorities, and Gravgaard had passed all additional health checks, the club then opted in January 2011, to dismiss him permanently from the club – a half year prematurely. Forced by that, Gravgaard announced in January 2011, that he would now end his active playing career for good, and that he would continue – at least for the next half year – to work as a football commentator, pundit and analyst at the Danish TV channel Canal 9.
