Club career
Viking
The son of a Norwegian oil company worker, Hangeland was born in Houston, Texas during his parents' two-year spell in the United States, but grew up in Stavanger.[3] Since moving back to Stavanger, Hangeland said on America, quoting: "We were there for a short period in 1980/81, which is when I was born and then we went back home, so obviously I don’t remember too much about my time there!"[4] Hangeland arrived at Viking from local club FK Vidar at the start of the 2001 season. He helped win the Norwegian cup in his debut season, playing as a central defensive midfielder in the 3–0 victory over rivals Bryne FK in the final. In 2005, he was made captain of Viking. When he left Viking he had played a total of 187 games for the club.
Copenhagen
On 16 January 2006 he signed a contract with the Danish club F.C. Copenhagen. The tall defender made an impact right from the start together with Danish captain Michael Gravgaard and the two defenders were feared. Because of their height and dominance when it came to headers, they were known as the Copenhagen Air Force.[5] With several great performances in the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League group stage Brede Hangeland was linked with numerous big clubs around Europe. During his time at Copenhagen, Hangeland won the Danish Superliga twice and the Royal League once. He played in 63 league games, scoring three times and total played over 100 games in the different tournaments.
Fulham
During the summer of 2007 newspapers linked him with Premier League clubs Newcastle United, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester City.[6] Hangeland refuted the rumours and said he was glad to play for Copenhagen, but finally on 18 January 2008 after days of speculation, it was officially confirmed that he had signed for Fulham, where he was reunited with his former manager from Viking, Roy Hodgson, and former Viking FK striker Erik Nevland.[7]
On 29 January 2008 he made his Fulham debut when Fulham played Bolton Wanderers at Reebok Stadium. He was voted Man of the Match by Sky Sports after the game. The club survived relegation in the 2007–08 season with Brede forming a formidable partnership with Aaron Hughes at the heart of Fulham's defence.
Hangeland was appointed captain of the Norwegian national football team on 12 August 2008, and on 23 August he scored his first goal for Fulham against Arsenal, with Fulham winning the game 1–0.
During the summer of 2009, media reports linked him to Arsenal, but Hangeland indicated that he was happy to remain at Fulham. On 22 October, he scored his second goal for Fulham in the Europe League match against A.S. Roma.[8]
On 27 November 2009, Hangeland was rewarded with a new deal with Fulham to last until the summer of 2013.[9] He played in the UEFA Cup Final on 12 May 2010, which Fulham lost 2–1 after extra time to Atlético Madrid in Hamburg.[10]
Hangeland scored two goals in an away win at Birmingham City on 15 May 2011.[11][12] This took his tally up to six Premier League goals on the season which made him the highest scoring centre back in the league,[13] and the second highest goalscorer for Fulham behind Clint Dempsey.
Hangeland signed a two-year contract extension with the option of a further year on 28 March 2013, which would have kept him at the club until the summer of 2015.[14] However, on 3 June 2014, Hangeland was released by Fulham. Through his advisor, Hangeland released a statement saying that he had been dismissed by e-mail, without having talked to anyone in the club about the future or his contract. This was countered by the club who noted Hangeland had refused to attend meetings with the club's management.[15]
Months later, when Felix Magath was sacked as Fulham manager, Hangeland claimed after his sacking that in the previous season Magath ignored doctors and instructed him to place a block of cheese on his thigh in order to make him fit for the next match. [16] Former captain Danny Murphy said that the treatment suggested was 'ridiculous',[17] Magath later admitted that he did suggest cheese as a remedy.[18]
Crystal Palace
On 1 August 2014, Hangeland joined Crystal Palace on a free transfer, signing a one-year deal.[19] On the 16th, he made his competitive debut for the club, on the opening day of the Premier League season away to Arsenal. Hangeland opened the scoring by heading in Jason Puncheon's corner, but Palace eventually lost 2–1.[20] He scored twice in 17 appearances as Palace finished the season in 10th place under Alan Pardew.[21]
On 10 June 2015 it was announced that Hangeland had been released by Crystal Palace[22] but he signed a new one-year extension on 15 June, keeping him at the club for another season.[23]
International career
After playing 12 matches on the under-21 national team,[24] he made his debut for the senior national team as a defensive midfielder in a 1–0 win against Austria on 20 November 2002.[25] After the UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying, national team coach Åge Hareide named Hangeland as captain instead of Vålerenga's player-coach Martin Andresen.[26] His first goal came in his 62nd match; a UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying match against Iceland. As of February 2013, Hangeland has been capped 82 times, 38 of them as captain, and has scored four goals.[13][25]
