Timeline

1973

Claus Lundekvam (born 22 February 1973) is a Norwegian former professional footballer who played as a centre-back.

1993

Lundekvam was a junior player for local team Selbjørn in Austevoll before joining Norwegian top flight team Brann, where he made his senior debut in 1993.

1994

Lundekvam made his international debut for the Norwegian U21 team in 1994 and his senior debut for the Norwegian national team in November 1995.

1996

Lundekvam began his career with Brann before moving to English side Southampton in 1996 where he played until his retirement in 2008.

He made a total of 413 appearances for the club, of which 290 were in the Premier League, and was the team's captain for several years.

He eventually earned a starting place in the team at centre-back and participated in Brann's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup campaign, before being sold to English side Southampton in July 1996.

Lundekvam made his Premier League debut against Nottingham Forest on 4 September and would go on to captain Southampton for several years.

2002

In 2002–03, he contributed to one of Southampton's most successful seasons in history as they finished eighth in the Premier League and reached the FA Cup final, where they lost 1–0 to Arsenal.

His first international goal, against Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2002, was the 1,000th goal in the history of the Norwegian national team.

Lundekvam was capped 40 times for the national team, often as captain, and scored two goals.

Following his retirement, Lundekvam continued residing in Southampton before returning to Norway with his family.

Lundekvam would later reveal that he had problems with depression, drugs and alcohol after his playing career.

About his addiction he said: "I would drink two litres of hard liquor and do between five and ten grams of cocaine every day."

Lundekvam got help to overcome his addiction and issues at Sporting Chance Clinic, a recovery facility for athletes set up by former Arsenal captain Tony Adams.

2003

He notably played for Southampton in the 2003 FA Cup Final against Arsenal.

Lundekvam was capped 40 times for Norway and often captained the national team.

The team was managed by Gordon Strachan, who famously joked when Lundekvam was stretchered off injured in a game against Leicester City in the 2003–04 season that he "didn't have a clue" whether the player was unconscious as "that's what he's always like".

2004

He scored his first goal in the premiership against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 3 April, 2004, and his second goal against Cardiff in 1 April, 2006, in the Championship.

Coincidentally, both teams were managed at the time by former Saints manager Dave Jones.

2005

Lundekvam remained at Southampton after their relegation from the Premier League in 2005.

2006

He went off injured after five minutes of the first game of the 2006–07 season, away to Derby County on 6 August, 2006, and missed the first two months of the season.

He then had a long run in the team before another injury in March put him out for another month.

2007

In a game at St Mary's against Southend United on 6 May, 2007, Lundekvam fell awkwardly and sustained a serious ankle injury that put him out of action.

2008

On 18 March, 2008, it was announced that his injury was to the extent that his playing career was over.

Southampton rewarded Lundekvam for his service to the club that had included over 400 appearances with a testimonial match against Celtic, managed by Gordon Strachan, at St Mary's on 18 July, 2008.

Curiously, Lundekvam had to pay the expenses of his own testimonial match, due to the St Mary's lawn being damaged following a Bon Jovi concert the week before, but the fan turnout allowed him to recoup his budget.

2012

In July 2012, Lundekvam claimed that he, team-mates and opposing captains were involved in betting fraud during their playing days, stating that: "We could make deals with the opposing captain about, for example, betting on the first throw, the first corner, who started with the ball, a yellow card or a penalty. Those were the sorts of thing we had influence over."

The allegations were later denied by Lundekvam's former team-mate and captain Francis Benali.

2015

In 2015, he released his autobiography detailing his career and struggles with addiction and mental health.

2016

Lundekvam worked regularly as a pundit for TV 2, the largest commercial broadcaster in Norway, until 2016.

Lundekvam now works with the Psychiatry Alliance in Bergen to help others with mental health and drug issues by sharing his own experiences.
