Striker

Up like a salmon at the back stick, it's the Icelandic forward who has yet to truly make his mark in the top flight

Helguson was Watford’s record signing when he joined the club for £1.5m during their first season in the Premier League in 1999/2000.

After a successful spell at Norwegian side Lillestrom, the Icelandic international invariably weighed in with goals at Vicarage Road but injuries curtailed his appearances. Strong in the air and with a good leap despite being only 5ft 10in tall, Helguson scored 20 goals during 2004/05 before joining Fulham. His work rate and finishing ability made him popular at Craven Cottage but he was not always a regular and moved on to Sammy Lee’s Bolton in summer 2007.

Helguson showed promise when he did play during 2007/08 but persistent injuries restricted him to just eight appearances.

After his dissapointing spell at Bolton, Helguson was loaned out initially to QPR in November 2008 where he impressed the club's manager, Paulo Sosa. The deal was made permanent in the 2009 winter transfer window.

I wouldn't want him back coz I think all those injury's have taken their toll on him.

Wins a lot in the air for a player who is only 5ft10 and works his socks off. Defo needs a pecy striker alongside him. Just needs to get his confidence back.

One of the hardest working players in the Premier League, more so than Rooney! Helguson was unfortunately injured at the beginning of the season, and was kept out for the rest of it. However, in 6 games he had already scored 2 goals! Hopefully this season he'll show his worth!
