History edit

The first game between the clubs took place in the first round of the 1923 cup, which Lillestrøm won 2-1 at Vigernes stadion.[7] They met again in Hovedserien during 1950s, but played in different divisions through the 1960s. When Vålerenga won their first title in 1965, Lillestrøm found themselves in the second tier. In the years following their title Vålerenga also went into a falling period and in 1971 the two clubs met each other in the third tier. Vålerenga won the division that year, while Lillestrøm finished fourth.[8] In 1973 Vålerenga got promoted back to the first tier, the same year as Lillestrøm got promoted to the second tier.

The rivalry between the two clubs started in the 1970s, when Lillestrøm became a prominent team in Norwegian football. Tom Lund was one of the club's most important players in these years. In 1974 Lillestrøm had gotten promoted back to the first tier, and Vålerenga went back down to second tier in 1975. Lillestrøm's rise to prominence also saw some of the best players from Vålerenga and other Oslo clubs move to Lillestrøm.[1]

Vålerenga and Lillestrøm have faced each other in the cup final twice, in 1980 and 1985. In 1980, Vålerenga won 4–1.[9] In 1985, Lillestrøm won 4–1.[10]

In October 1999, Mamadou Diallo, who was loaned out from Lillestrøm to Vålerenga, scored two goals as Vålerenga defeated Lillestrøm 3–1. He celebrated one of the goals by running to the Lillestrøm fans and blowing a kiss in their direction. Diallo's explanation of the incident was that he wanted to show his appreciation for the LSK fans after two years at the club.[11]

In June 2013, three days before a match between the two teams, the statue of Tom Lund outside Åråsen Stadion was beheaded.[12] It was not the first time the statue had been vandalised. In December 2002, it was covered in paint, a Vålerenga kit and a Santa hat. Vålerenga fans had previously urinated at the statue ahead of matches between the two clubs.[13]
