Our dad won it all for Chelsea and Barcelona – now we’re making our own way in football and starring for our country

A CHELSEA and Barcelona legend has a lot to be proud of when it comes to his celebrated football career.

But now he also gets to brag about his three sons’ success, mainly in the national team where he is arguably remembered as the all-time best.

The legendary striker joined the Premier League at the age of 20 as he signed for Bolton and a successful two-year stint led to Chelsea.

The now 45-year-old enjoyed six successful years at Stamford Bridge where he won two back-to-back Premier League titles as well as the League Cup in 2005 and amassed 78 goals in 263 appearances.

The Iceland legend moved to Barcelona in 2006 where he registered 19 goals and 10 assists in 114 games and spent three years at the Nou Camp where he also won the Treble in 2009.

The forward then underwent quite a nomadic career that saw him returning to England for Tottenham, Fulham, Stoke and former club Bolton.

The Icelandic hero also played for Monaco, AEK Athens, Cercle Brugge, Club Brugge, Cangzhou Mighty Lions, Molde and Pune City before his retirement in 2016.

Have you figured him out yet? Here’s one last clue: He picked up 26 goals in 88 caps for his country…

And it’s of course Eidur Gudjohnsen, who now sees his three sons following in his footsteps as they all play as strikers.

Sveinn Aron Gudjohnsen

Sveinn Aron Gudjohnsen is Eidur’s oldest as he was born in 1998 when his dad had just moved to the UK.

Sveinn’s started out at Barcelona’s famous La Masia academy in 2006 when he moved to Catalonia alongside his father and the rest of the family.

Five years later the forward joined Spanish side Gava until 2015 when he moved back to Iceland for HK where his senior career kicked off.

After a short stint at Icelandic outfits Valur and Breidablik the 25-year-old moved to Italy in 2018 for Spezia, who sent him out on loan to Ravenna as well as Odense.

Sveinn has been plying his trade in Swedish club Elfsborg since 2021 and has amassed two goals in 20 caps for Iceland.

Andri Gudjohnsen

Andri Gudjohnsen started his youth career at Barcelona as well, but he joined La Masia a year after his dad left the Nou Camp and spent three seasons learning from the best.

The 21-year-old then joined Sveinn in Gava for two years and his impressive performances led him to Espanyol as well as Real Madrid in 2018.

The forward managed to turn some heads in Madrid and was promoted to Real’s B team in 2021 where he amassed four goals in 21 matches.

However, Andri never made it to Los Blancos’ first team and was offloaded in 2022 to Swedish outfit Norrkoping, who sent him out on loan to Danish side Lyngby in August.

The striker never played for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, but has registered five goals in 18 senior appearances for Iceland.

Daniel Gudjohnsen

The youngest of the bunch, Daniel Gudjohnsen also played for Gava where he started out his youth career in 2011.

Four years later he also went to Barcelona’s La Masia academy until 2019 when he joined Andri at Real Madrid.

However, the 17-year-old only lasted three years in Madrid before moving to Sweden for Malmo.

After a successful year in the Swedish giants’ youth set up, Daniel was called up to the senior squad where he has only played once, making his debut in June.

The forward is too young to play for Iceland but is currently part of the national team’s Under-19 side.
