In that period Vikingur scored 58 goals and conceded 16. The team did not win a single title in that time because they did not yet have a senior side. It wasn't until [[1918]] that the team first competed in the Icelandic league. *Vikingur have had players from [[Stoke City F.C.]] on loan before. In [[2004]] they also had two players on loan, Jermaine Palmer and Richard Keogh. *The last time Vikingur played in the Icelandic top-flight, the team was relegated by conceding a 90th minute goal in their last match of the season against [[Ungmennafélag Grindavíkur|UMFG]]. *While Vikingur's fan base is rather small, they have got a fan club in Dublin, Ireland, which goes by the name of "Jerry Palmer's Barmy Army"- dedicated to the former Vikingur goal machine. ==Notable players== * [[Arnór Guðjohnsen]] *{{flagicon|England}} [[Carl Dickinson]] *{{flagicon|Serbia}} [[Miloš Glogovac]] * [[Helgi Sigurðsson]] * [[Kári Árnason]] *{{flagicon|England}} [[Richard Keogh]] * [[Sölvi Ottesen]] *{{flagicon|Scotland}} [[Kevin Fotheringham]] *{{flagicon|England}} [[Jermaine Palmer]] ==External links== *[http://www.vikingur.is/ Official website] *[http://www.vikingur.net Vikingur's supporters club] [[Category:Icelandic football clubs|Víkingur]] [[ca:Víkingur Reykjavík]] [[de:Víkingur Reykjavík]] [[fr:Víkingur Reykjavík]] [[is:Knattspyrnufélagið Víkingur]] [[it:Knattspyrnufélagið Víkingur]] [[lt:Víkingur Reykjavík]] [[no:Knattspyrnufélagið Víkingur]] [[nl:Víkingur Reykjavík]] [[pl:Víkingur Reykjavík]]
