Pétur Marteinsson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pétur Marteinsson (born July 14, 1973 in Reykjavík) is an Icelandic football player.
He started his career in Fram Reykjavík, and moved to Swedish club Hammarby IF in 1996 where he was a great success. A sought-after defender, Marteinsson was bought by the Norwegian club Stabæk IF, coached by Anders Linderoth. In November 2001 he moved on to Stoke City, a club with many Icelandic players. Unfortunately, the manager who bought him lost his job within a week, and Marteinsson was not favoured by the new manager. Released in August 2003, he returned to Hammarby which incidentally was coached by Anders Linderoth.
In October 2006, KR Reykjavik announced they had won the race for his signature for the 2007 Icelandic premier league season, a move which will see Marteinsson return to his native Iceland to finish his career.
Marteinsson has been capped 35 times for Iceland.
