A Gud decision

IT IS fair to assume that Eidur Gudjohnsen is not the player he once was.

Claudio Ranieri was still the darling of Stamford Bridge when the Iceland striker finished the 2001-02 season with 14 Premier League goals for Chelsea. And John Arne Riise and Peter Crouch were still playing for Liverpool when Gudjohnsen scored the only goal of the night for Barcelona in a Champions League last 16 tie.

Three years on from that Anfield game, Gudjohnsen is now playing alongside Crouch and using his vast experience to propel Tottenham towards next season’s Champions League.
