[2] He played his entire career at Norwegian club Lillestrøm, taking them from the third division to the first and winning the Double.

After winning a local track and field tournament in 1971, he briefly considered practicing decathlon, with the goal of qualifying for the 1976 Olympics.

But his biggest offer came in 1973 from Ajax, then the best club in Europe, who wanted him to fill the gap left by Johan Cruyff.

[8] Lund was close to accepting, but eventually declined the offer, in large part because he thought the contract was too long.

[2] He later turned down offers from Real Madrid, Leeds United, Middlesbrough, Bayern Munich, and Feyenoord, among others.

They dominated the 1974 season, losing only a single game to secure promotion to the first division, while reaching the quarter finals in the cup.

In the 1977 season, with manager Joe Hooley, they won the double, and beat Ajax 2–0 at home in the first round of the European Cup (though they lost 2–4 in the aggregate).

Norwegian newspaper VG named Lund player of the year for 1977, together with Helge Karlsen.

In 1980, he could play more games, primarily in the cup, where they reached the final before losing to Vålerenga 1–4, in addition to placing third in the league.

He remained on the team to help them transission through a relatively quiet 1982 season, placing fourth in the league, after which he retired at the age of 32.

[13] Because Lund played his entire career as an amateur in Norway, speculations about his true skill and potential have been popular.

[2] Former Bayern Munich defender Einar Aas placed his skill below Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, but no worse than Kevin Keegan.

[8] Former Lillestrøm teammate and Hamburger SV midfielder Erik Solér opined that Lund's set-pieces were no worse than David Beckham, and that he was better at everything else.
