CHELSEA legend Eidur Gudjohnsen has a remarkable footballing legacy that extends far beyond his own playing career.
The former Iceland striker, 46, led the line for a host of Europe’s biggest clubs including PSV, Barcelona, Monaco and Tottenham.
But it was his time at Stamford Bridge that most English fans will remember him for.
He scored 78 goals in 263 games for Chelsea, winning two Premier League titles and a League Cup with the club.
Gudjohnsen, whose dad Arnor played for Boredaux and Iceland, went on to win the Champions League at Barcelona, eventually hanging up his boots in 2016 after a 22-year professional career.
Now all THREE of his sons are following in his footsteps as they make their own ways in the game – and SunSport has taken a look at each of them.

Andri Gudjohnsen, 22, is also a forward and is poised to come up against his dad’s old side Chelsea in the Europa Conference League on Thursday.
Like his two brothers, Andri’s youth career came in Spain for Barcelona, Gava, Espanyol and Real Madrid.
He played 21 games for Real’s B side and scored four goals, before he left the Spanish giants for Swedish side IFK Norrkoping in 2022.
He scored just once in 32 appearances for Norrkoping, before he joined Danish club Lyngby in August last year – where he bagged 13 goals in 28 games.
