Tom Lund

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Tom Lund (born 10th September 1950) is a former Norwegian football coach and striker, considered one of Norway's best players ever.

Lund spent his entire career at Norwegian club Lillestrøm, despite receiving numerous offers from big clubs abroad. The most famous example of his loyalty came in 1973, when he turned down Ajax, who wanted him to fill in the gap after football legend Johan Cruijff. He played 336 matches and scored 193 goals for Lillestrøm, helping his club to win the Norwegian Cup in 1977, 1978 and 1981, and the Norwegian top division in 1976 and 1977. He has 47 caps for the Norwegian national team (12 scored goals).

From 1985 to 1988, as well as in 1990, Tom Lund coached Lillestrøm, and secured a cup triumph in 1985 and a league championship in 1986.

As of 2004, Tom Lund is an investor in Lillestrøm, and is part of the club's sports committee.
