Eiður Smári Guðjohnsen (born 15 September 1978) is an Icelandic professional footballer who last played for Indian club Pune City and the Iceland national team as a forward.
He has previously played for English Premier League club Chelsea and Barcelona of Spain, and has had two spells at Bolton Wanderers fourteen years apart. He was the captain of the Iceland national team until manager Ólafur Jóhannesson took over the team. Throughout his professional career, Eiður Smári has scored over 150 goals in all competitions with his clubs and the national team.
He is the son of Arnór Guðjohnsen, a former professional footballer. He made his full international debut for Iceland as a substitute for his father in 1996, and is the nation's top scorer of all time with 26 international goals in 88 caps.
After spending the 1994 season with Valur in Reykjavík, Eiður Smári played for PSV in the Netherlands from 1995. After a severe injury to his ankle in 1996, medics at PSV declared him unfit for professional football, which forced him to return to his native country where he played for KR Reykjavík.
Eiður Smári signed with English club Bolton Wanderers in 1998. He made his debut in September 1998 in a game against Birmingham City. By March the following year, Eiður Smári had become a regular member of the Bolton first team, and the following season, he scored 21 times in all competitions as the Trotters reached the Division One play-offs and the semi-finals of both the FA Cup and the League Cup.
