Born in Colchester, Lundstrum began his career with West Ham United as an amateur, but failed to progress to the club's first team,[1] returning to his hometown and playing for Colchester Casuals.[2] He then signed for Ipswich Town in November 1956 and made his Football League debut in a Second Division 0–0 draw with Swansea Town on 15 February 1958.[2]

Lundstrum made 13 league appearances for Town and scored one goal,[3] making his final appearance in a 4–1 away win over Brighton & Hove Albion on 28 December 1959.[2]

Upon his release from Colchester, Lundstrum joined non-league Clacton Town.[1] He retired from the game after his stay at Clacton.[2]
