Einar "Jeja" Gundersen (20 September 1896 – 29 October 1962) was a Norwegian footballer who played play as a centre-forward for Odd. He is regarded as one of Norwegian football's first star players. He played 33 times for Norway,[2] and his 26 international goals place him third on the national team's all-time scoring list.[3]
His nickname Jeja means literally "Me Then", as that was what he wondered as a kid when he was not picked for the team.
At club level, Gundersen scored more than 200 goals. He won the Norwegian Cup five times. He was also a member of the Norwegian team that played in the 1920 Olympics,[4] and scored twice in the 3–1 win against England's amateur side.
