Grétar Rafn Steinsson KS, ÍA Akranes, Young Boys, AZ, Bolton and Kayserispor. 46-A, 11-U21, 4 U19 and 7 u-17 Iceland
Left Siglufjörður(1500 inhabitants) when he was 15 years old to play with IA Akranes. Lived in a garage with a family. Decided to focus on the full back position after he damaged crusiate ligaments.
,,I never compared myself to the players i played with. Instead i played against imaginaryplayers from all around the world. To be the best i had to train more and better than others. Not only more.“
Alfreð Finnbogason • U17=0 • U19=0 • U21=11 • A=21 • Top scorer in Holland 2013-2014 with 29 goals
Alfreð Finnbogason Heerenveen „ A lot of people told me that i was not big enough or strong enough. It only encouraged me more. Where i am today was only a distant dream when i was a teenager. I was never picked for the U17‘s or U19‘s but i was near it. At that time i needed to use my brain a lot to compete against others. So i emphasized on being technical and quicker in my mind. So i could see what would happen next. Altough you are not the fastest on your feet you can still be step ahead.“
