Welcome to the second installment of my article series ‘Old Skool Gems’, which is designed at looking back at players we loved at Chelsea, but they might not always have been the most popular, or might be seen by many as being under rated.

I will only be using players that I have a physical memory of so I can do them justice.

The first one was on John Obi Mikel, today we look at Eidur Gugjohnsen, upon request of a subscriber.
