Brian signed a new two-year deal in June 2010, cementing his position as the club's longest serving professional.

Jensen lost his place to Lee Grant during the 2010/11 season, but in typical fashion fought his way back to reclaim the number one jersey and made his 300th appearance for the Clarets in April 2011.

The ever-present Dane, affectionately known as 'Beast', played in all 38 league games for the Clarets during the Premier League season.

And he provided one of the highlights of the season with his penalty save from Manchester United's Michael Carrick at Turf Moor earning the Clarets a famous opening win in the top flight.

Jensen first arrived in English football back in 2000, when West Bromwich Albion paid £100,000 to Dutch club AZ Alkmaar following an impressive trial spell.

He made 50 appearances for Albion where he was dubbed 'the Beast' due to his giant frame, but when Gary Megson took over at The Hawthorns first-team chances became few and far between.

After being released by the Baggies, Jensen joined the Clarets in June, 2003 on an initial two-year contract and has fought off fierce competition since to remain the club's number one.

International goalkeepers Danny Coyne, Gabor Kiraly and, latterly, Diego Penny, have all been second choice to the big Dane, whose position as a Clarets legend is now cemented as he stands fifth in the list of all-time goalkeeping appearance makers.
