Kveðjunum rignir yfir Jón Daða

Hann fær sérstaklega hlýjar kveðjur frá stuðningsmönnum Burton Albion, Bolton Wanderers og Reading, enda elskuðu stuðningsmenn Jón Daða hvar sem hann spilaði.

Jón Daði lék sem sóknarmaður og var hans helsta einkenni að vera gríðarlega vinnusamur. Hann lagði sig alltaf allan fram fyrir liðið og því tóku stuðningsmenn eftir. Hann gafst aldrei upp og smitaði frá sér gríðarlegum baráttuvilja til liðsfélaganna sem gerði hann að ómetanlegum leikmanni.

Jón Daði endaði ferilinn hjá uppeldisfélaginu UMF Selfoss eftir að hafa leikið fyrir Viking, FC Kaiserslautern, Wolves, Reading, Millwall, Bolton, Wrexham og Burton.

That impact at Burton Albion will never be forgotten. ?????

Brewers had 2 wins in 24 games up to mid-Jan before Böðvarsson showed up.

4 ?? 1 ????? in the first 6 games, and Burton's record was 7 wins, 4 draws, and 2 defeats with him in the side.#BAFC stayed up by 1 point. Unreal.???? https://t.co/vmffGxqsEN pic.twitter.com/VebkVJSzWM

.@jondadi scored 25 goals during a two-and-a-half year spell at Bolton, 10 of which came from appearances off the bench.

In club history, only Michael Ricketts (20) has scored more goals as a substitute than Bodvarsson.#BWFC https://t.co/GMkd2fKoTk

Wishing @jondadi all the very best as he announces his retirement from football ????

In his 2 years as a Royal, Böðvarsson scored 17 goals (including one hat-trick) in 56 games - at a very impressive rate of a goal every 180 mins ????

Ain’t nobody, like Jón Daði ???? #readingfc pic.twitter.com/cTqBbasOWU
