Guðmundur Benediktsson nicknamed Gummi Ben (born 3 September 1974) is an Icelandic TV personality,[2] sports commentator and former footballer and manager.

[4] After the injury, he was offered the choice of going to Stuttgart or Germinal Ekeren, opting for the latter because he believed he would get more playing time.

[4] In 1997, he went on trial at Preston North End (which at the time was managed by David Moyes) and was offered a one-month contract which would be renewed on a monthly basis (due to Guðmundur's record of injury problems).

[4] Guðmundur rejected the deal, as he had a newborn (his son Albert) and needed more long-term security.

[4] After a stint at Geel in 2000, Guðmundur had serious knee problems, leading him to play irregularly for KR in the subsequent years.

He made his debut for Iceland in 1994 against the United Arab Emirates, and scored in the game.

[7][8] One especially memorable commentary came immediately after full-time of Iceland's 2–1 win over England in the round of 16 (English translation given here):This is done!
