Anders Rozenkrantz Lindegaard (Danish: [ɑnɐs ˈlinˀəɡ̊ɒːˀ]; born 13 April 1984) is a Danish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Championship club Preston North End, having previously played for Manchester United and West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League.
Lindegaard initially came through the ranks of his hometown club, Odense Boldklub, but left due to a lack of first-team opportunities. He got his senior breakthrough winning the 2009 Norwegian Football Cup with Aalesund. He was named 2010 Goalkeeper of the Year in both Denmark and Norway.
Lindegaard represented Denmark at under-19 and U-20 level before making his senior debut on 7 September 2010 against Iceland.
Born in the Dyrup suburb of Odense, Lindegaard started his career at local Danish Superliga team Odense Boldklub (OB). He made his Danish Superliga debut in a 3–1 victory against Silkeborg IF on 19 November 2006. He made his UEFA competition debut on 30 July 2009, in a 4–3 win over Rabotnički. During most of his time with OB, he was kept out of the team by Arek Onyszko, and he had two loan spells at Kolding FC, where he remained undefeated in the ten league games he got for the team, after it had lost the first four games of the season, and Aalesunds FK, who he would later join permanently. When Onyszko was sacked by Odense in June 2009 due to him being convicted for assaulting his ex-wife, Lindegaard was seen as his replacement. The arrival of Roy Carroll at Odense two months later, however, forced him to move on.
