Veigar Páll Gunnarsson (born 21 March 1980) is an Icelandic football striker who currently plays for the Norwegian club Stabæk.
[edit] Career[edit] Club[edit] Early yearsVeigar Páll made his debut for Stjarnan in the 1996 season, in which he only managed 1 game as a substitute. He soon established himself as a regular in the side and started scoring goals as well, catching the eye of foreign teams. He soon went abroad to Norway where he played for Strømsgodset. He failed to establish himself in the first team so he returned to Iceland to play for KR Reykjavík. There he quickly became popular with the fans and was the star player of the KR team that won the Icelandic premier league in 2002 and 2003. [edit] StabækGunnarsson joined Stabæk in 2004 in a season they got relegated, after being placed 3rd in the league the previous year. He flourished under new coach Jan Jönsson in 2005, with new signing Daniel Nannskog. Gunnarsson was leading the attack with Nannskog, a partnership which was the most feared duo in the league, according to statistics (goals and assist). In the 2006 season, Nannskog became top scorer in the Norwegian Premier League with 19 goals, with Gunnarsson finishing one goal behind. In 2007, Stabæk finished second, just behind winners Brann. Gunnarson played well, and was the seasons assist leader with 17, and fourth on the scoring chart with 15.[1] The following season he made another big contribution to the club, helping them winning the league. Again he was the seasons assist leader with 14, in addition to 10 goals. [edit] NancyIn December 2008, he signed a contract with the French club AS Nancy of Ligue 1. [edit] Return to StabækOn November 30th, 2009, Stabæk confirmed that Gunnarsson had resigned with his former club. Gunnarsson himself stated that he felt that Nancy had destroyed his career by not letting him play, but that he was looking forward to returning "home" to Stabæk. [edit] National teamHe made his debut for Iceland in a January 2001 friendly match against Uruguay at the Millennium Super Soccer Cup in India. He has been capped 20 times since and has scored 4 goals. [edit] Career statistics
