Tom Lund (born 10 September 1950) is a former Norwegian football coach and striker.[2] He played his entire career at Norwegian club Lillestrøm, taking them from the third division to the first and winning the Double. He never played professionally, despite receiving offers from big international clubs. He is widely considered one of the greatest Norwegian football players of all time.[3][4][5]
In all official competitions, he played 348 matches and scored 197 goals for Lillestrøm (of which 274 matches and 154 goals were recorded in league competition),[6] helping his club win the Norwegian Cup in 1977, 1978 and 1981, and the Norwegian top division in 1976 and 1977. He retired from football in 1982 while still being regarded as one of the best players in Norwegian football.
He won 47 caps with the Norwegian national team.
