Gudjon Thordarson, the Icelandic manager who took Stoke City up from the third tier in 2002, has died at 71 after living with Parkinson's in recent years. He arrived at Stoke in 1999 after coaching Iceland's national side, won the EFL Trophy in 2000, and later managed Barnsley, Notts County and Crewe Alexandra. He left Stoke only a few days after their play-off promotion triumph.
