Thomas Lund (footballer)
Norwegian footballer
Thomas Lund (born 19 November 1970) is a retired Norwegian football striker.
He started his youth career in the clubs in Åsane borough, Tertnes, Hordvik and Norna-Salhus. He made his senior debut for Norna-Salhus before the club merged with Hordvik to form FK Bergen Nord in 1988. Not an ambitious player, he started a hairdressing saloon together with his wife. Having run his course in Bergen Nord, he was talked into training with Åsane Fotball. He became a decent goalscorer there before breaking through in 1997 with 21 goals in 20 games. After becoming top goalscorer in the 2002 1. divisjon he was finally signed by the city's largest team, SK Brann. He made his first-tier debut at the age of 33 in the 2003 Tippeligaen. In two seasons he scored 6 league goals and 7 cup goals.

Why this record matters
“Thomas Lund (footballer)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Thomas, Lund and footballer provides the most credible route into that argument.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12006090. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1970, 1988, 1997 and 2002.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
