Fresh from watching his son Andri at Stamford Bridge last night, playing in the Gent attack against Chelsea, Eidur Gudjohnsen will be back at our stadium on Sunday but this time as a host for a selection of Club Chelsea’s hospitality packages.
The Blues are taking on Nottingham Forest in a Premier League encounter, a competition Chelsea legend Eidur helped the club win for the first two times in our history!
Not only that, the side he played in won those titles back to back – and this current season is the 20th-anniversary of the first of those triumphant campaigns.
Having already been part of one of the most-deadly strike partnerships in Chelsea history when he played alongside Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, in 2004/05 Eidur was a key component of a tactical switch mid-season that led manager Jose Mourinho to dub him ‘the blond Maradona’. He was second highest scorer as we lifted the trophy for that first time.
Now fans who book with Club Chelsea for the Rose & Ball or a Diamond Suite at this weekend’s game will have the chance to relive those glory days with Eidur.
The Rose & Ball package offers relaxed dining in a contemporary setting, perfect for pre- and post-match socialising, while a Diamond Suite is the ultimate VIP matchday experience in private luxury surroundings. The former Iceland international will be taking part in a meet-and-greet in each of those locations.
