Johnny Vilstrup Pedersen (27 February 1967 â 31 August 2025) was a Danish professional footballer, who played as a midfielder for Lyngby and AGF of the Danish Superliga. He moved abroad to play professionally for Luton Town during the 1995âÂÂ96 season.
In September 1995 Vilstrup was signed for Luton Town by manager Terry Westley for ã175,000. After just seven Football League First Division appearances Westley was sacked and his replacement Lennie Lawrence discarded Vilstrup, who returned to Denmark on loan with AGF. He helped AGF win the 1995âÂÂ96 Danish Cup and his transfer was made permanent for ã100,000 in June 1996. A knee injury sustained in November 1996 prematurely ended Vilstrup's football career.
Vilstrup died on 31 August 2025, at the age of 58.
