Premier League - Former Prem star stabbed in legs
Former Tottenham and Bolton star Gudni Bergsson was rushed to hospital after being stabbed in both legs at his office in Reykjavik.
The former Iceland international - who played for Spurs from 1988 to 1994 and Bolton from 1995 to 2003 - became a lawyer after retiring from the professional game, and was rushing to protect a colleague who had also been attacked by a crazed knifeman.
Local media reported that a man entered the law office and demanded to speak to somebody about a debt being collected by the firm. An elderly colleague of Bergsson sat down with the man, who promptly pulled out a hunting knife and stabbed him several times. Bergsson jumped in to protect his unnamed colleague, at which point he received two stab wounds before the attacker was subdued.
Bergsson was later released from hospital, but his colleague remains in critical condition in intensive care.
Icelandic broadcasting corporation RUV reported that the 34-year-old man had gone to the office "with the intention of hurting somebody" after the firm tried unsuccessfully to repossess a motorbike he had bought with a loan. He has been arrested and is in custody but has yet to be charged by Icelandic police.
