Liverpool's No.5 arrived at Anfield in 2006 from the Danish club and they are currently suffering from financial problems.

Brondby had been ordered to offer a lump sum to all current and former players as a result of failing to pay supplementary holiday pay, pensions and other benefits since 2004.

However, the Denmark captain has refused the payment as a mark of respect to his old club.

"I am not going to claim any money from the club," said Agger.

"The club is in trouble and needs help. And I want to help. I hope a lot of other people are interested in helping too.

"Brondby are an important club, not just in football, but also for a lot of people in the local community.

"It is a huge organisation with a huge network. You can tell by the amount of people showing up to the games.

"I hope a lot of players will review their decision to claim the money. It won't be good for anyone if Brondby are not to be found in the best Danish division."
