Gudjohnsen, Iceland

It's easy to forget how good Eidur Gudjohnsen was, in his day. He was cherry picked by Barcelona, for goodness sake!

I think this level of talent, and the fact that he was never particularly offensive(!) was why people were generally pretty happy for him to make it to a major international tournament in 2016, even if his best days were behind him by then.

Here he is in Iceland's Euro 2016 kit:


Among the requests for this one were his white boots, and the captain's armband, which I think he was given on coming on as substitute in cameo role in the tournament.

He's also wearing his customary number 22 (in the correct font of course!)

I forget how Euro 2016 went for Iceland...
