Helge Christian Bronée (28 March 1922, Nybølle — 3 June 1999, Dronningmølle) was a Danish footballer.

He played for French club AS Nancy, as well as several notable Italian clubs, including Palermo, AS Roma and Juventus, during the 1950s.
[edit] Biography
Bronée started his senior career with Copenhagen clubs Boldklubben 1893 (B 93) and Handelsstandens Boldklub (HB). He moved to Østerbro Boldklub (ØB), where he formed a fearsome attacking partnership with Karl Aage Præst. With 26 goals in the 1945-46 Danish 2nd Division season, Bronée helped ØB win promotion for the top-flight Danish 1st Division. Bronée got his debut for the Danish national team in September 1945, where he scored the first goal in a 5-1 victory against Norway. He was the topscorer of the 1946-47 Danish championship with 21 goals in 18 games, as ØB finished in fourth place in their 1st Division debut season.
He moved abroad to play professionally for French club AS Nancy. Due to the strict rules of amateurism in the Danish national team, this spelled the end of his international career after four games and one goal for the national team. Bronée played at Nancy until 1950, when he moved to Italian football. He played two years at Palermo, in the midtable of the top-flight Serie A championship. In 1952, he moved on to AS Roma, with whom he finished in sixth place of the Serie A for two seasons in a row. Bronée was reunited with Karl Aage Præst, when he played a single season for Juventus, with another sixth place the result. He moved to relegation battlers Novara in 1955. Despite 10 goals from Bronée, Novara's 1955-56 season resulted in relegation.
Bronée moved back to Denmark to play as an amateur. He played for Rødovre BK, before ending his career with his first senior club, B 93.
