Egil Brenna Lund

Egil Brenna Lund (1 February 1903 – 26 October 1949) was a Norwegian footballer who played as a defender for Fredrikstad and the Norwegian national team in the 1920s and 1930s.

Club career Early career Born in Fredrikstad on 1 February 1903, Egil Brenna Lund began his football career at St. Croix IF, where he played until 1922, when he was signed by another hometown club Fredrikstad FK, making his debut with the first team in a league match against Ørn on 15 October, aged 19. He quickly stood out as an uncompromising player whose defensive play often ended in fist fights with opponents, thus becoming very popular at home, but also immensely disliked away.

Later career Despite some encouraging first steps in France, Brenna Lund left Red Star at the end of the season, in July 1928, to return to his hometown club, which he helped reach the district final, which ended in a 1–2 loss to underdogs Selbak, partly because Brenna Lund was sent off, with the local press describing it as "an embarrassing incident", being even fined with 50 krones in addition to a "sharp reprimand". In the following year, FFK won the district championship with a 1–0 win over Moss in the replay. six in friendlies, and eight in the Nordic Football Championship, helping his side win the 1929–32 tournament, where he helped his side to a 5–2 victory against Denmark in Copenhagen on 23 June 1929, which was the first Norwegian victory on Danish soil.

Death Brenna Lund died on 26 October 1949, at the age of 46.
