INFO:

Albert Sigurður Guðmundsson was an Icelandic footballer and politician, who played as inside right and centre forward. An excellent technician who knew how to shoot, knew how to pass and was very confident on the ball. However, in the state of form and settlement on Italian football, he was rather firm, and in any case he doesn't fight, he doesn't press, he doesn't penetrate. Intelligence leads him to make appropriate interventions, but if the opponent notices this and anticipates his time, Gud is done. He was characterized by great technique, elegant moves and good vision. He was good scorer as well as creator, but physically he was little bit weak and never preferred physical play. Gud was made of cristal, both in body and soul, an elegant inside forward but not used to the harshness of opposing defenders.
In 1944 Albert went to Scotland to study business administration at Skerry's College in Glasgow. He started his football career with the Rangers. After a brief stop there, he went to England with Arsenal in October 1946 as an amateur. Albert could not get a work permit in England and went to look for opportunities anywhere else. In a game with Arsenal against Racing Club de Paris, he attracted the attention of the French team. He moved to Nancy at the end of 1946. In 1948 Albert signed a contract with AC Milan. He returned to France where he played for several teams before he put his boots as a pro in 1954. He was chairman of the Football Association from 1968 to 1973. When he withdrew from office, he was awarded the Football Gullmerki a long and important work of his football. He went to the Independence Party and was elected to the City of Reykjavik in 1970, the city council until 1986. In 1974 he was elected to Parliament. Albert became Finance Minister in 1983 and 1985 he went to the Ministry of Industry and was Minister for 1987. In 1987 he founded the Independence Party and Civil Party, where he was chairman for 1989. In 1989 he was appointed ambassador to Iceland in France, and held that office until 1993. He ran in the 1980 presidential election but lost to Vigdis Finnbogadottir. Albert passed away in 1994.
