Biography

Steven Lustü started his senior career with Næstved BK in the 1991-92 season. He moved on to Herfølge BK, with whom he won the 2000 Danish Superliga championship. He made his debut for the Danish national team under manager Morten Olsen, in an August 2000 match against the Faroe Islands.

He went on to play for league rivals Akademisk Boldklub, but left the club after a single year. He moved abroad to play for Norwegian club F.C. Lyn Oslo in 2002. He played almost every game for Lyn, and enjoyed great popularity with the club's supporters, who nicknamed him "Psycho" on account of his uncompromising playing style. During his stay at Lyn, Lustü played another eight national team games. He was included in the Danish squad for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, though he spent the entire tournament as an unused substitute. He participated in Denmark's unsuccessful qualifying campaign for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, and played his final national team game in the February 2005 loss to Greece.

Steven Lustü moved back home to Denmark when he signed with Silkeborg IF in December 2006. He made his first Superliga appearance for Silkeborg IF on March 11 2007 in a match against AC Horsens.
