There are images of a four-year-old Andri Gudjohnsen celebrating the 2005 Premier League title win with his father on the pitch at Stamford Bridge. Now 22 and returning as a striker for KAA Gent, the Iceland international will on Thursday play at the 40,000-seater capacity stadium where his father made history.
"It's quite typical, wasn't it, to get Chelsea in the draw?" he says.
"I remember glimpses of those victories," Andri adds as he also returns to the city where he was born.
He added: "The first thing I did was call my father. He already knew. It's special for me and for him. I was born when my father played there; it's kind of a unique draw."
Of course, not only are Chelsea part of the Gudjohnsen family history, but they are the highest-ranked team in the Conference League and will be a huge test for a developing football talent in the Belgian league.
The Gudjohnsens have all been forwards, inspired by the goalscoring feats of the previous generation.
Arnor: The grandfather, regarded as a legend at Anderlecht.
Eidur: Iceland’s most famous and successful player, now watching his sons with pride.
Sveinn: Eldest son, playing in Norway with Sarpsborg in a career spanning six countries.
Andri: Middle son - a striker who signed for Gent this season.
Daniel: Youngest son, currently at Swedish club Malmo.
Andri continues, refering to his grandfather's spell at Anderlecht and his dad's at Club Brugge: "It's just strange, really, that three generations of a Gudjohnsen player also end up here in the Belgian League and in one of the big teams.
"I wanted to be a goalkeeper when I was younger, but I think seeing my dad score a lot of goals throughout his career probably just inspired us boys.
"We want to score also, and to be kind of the main man up front, the one who scores all the goals. So yeah, it's probably just something that was passed on down the generations."
Eidur came on for his father when making his international debut. He was also assistant manager when Sveinn set up a goal for Andri in 2021, but being from a footballing family has its pitfalls.
"My father, for example, in Iceland, could barely go out on to the streets without people asking for pictures and signatures, and also in Chelsea and Barcelona. But at the end of the day he was just my dad to me. It's just something that you grow up with.
"My oldest brother perhaps took the biggest hits when it came to being compared to our father since he was the first born.
"You kind of get used to it, and you learn how to deal with it."
Talking about his father's influence, Andri adds: "He's found a kind of good balance between not being too critical or too involved in our business when it comes to football, but also being there for us when we need support or his advice."
Remarkably, Andri was educated in both the Barcelona and Real Madrid academies during his youth career, never training at Chelsea despite interest from English clubs.
It meant training under Madrid's legendary striker Raul in the B team and getting to meet Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o, Xavi and Andres Iniesta while his father was at Camp Nou.
The middle Gudjohnsen son had a turbulent summer as Danish club Lyngby triggered his release clause after a successful loan spell from IFK Norrkoping, before Gent swooped in to sign him less than two months later, which represents an important step in his footballing development.
Gent have lost only three of their 15 games this season in all competitions and are also one of the strongest teams in this competition.
“This is a game that any footballer wants to play," Andri says. "We're all excited and we go there with the mindset of taking something out of it.
"We have high expectations this season. We're putting together a young squad full of potential.
"We want to go as far as we possibly can, both in the league and in the Conference League.
"I think we have the quality, the players and the will to do very good things this season."

A familiar name to Chelsea fans will be out to damage their hopes in the Conference League on Thursday night.
Chelsea open the league phase of their Conference League campaign against Gent, the first of their six matches in the revamped competition.
The Belgian side's squad includes the son of a former Chelsea favourite, who was part of their Premier League title winning squad in the 2004-05 season under Jose Mourinho.
Chelsea's celebrations after the final home match of the season saw players bring their families onto the Stamford Bridge playing surface.
Among those to be on the pitch was Eidur Gudjohnsen's son Andri, with photos showing the youngster with his father, as well as celebrating with Blues star Joe Cole.
He is set to be back on the Stamford Bridge playing surface tonight, but this time in competitive action.
Andri, now 22, has followed in his father's footsteps by forging his own professional career.
The Gent star is also a forward and has netted twice in 13 matches since joining the Belgian club in the summer.
Speaking to the BBC, he admitted facing his father's former club will be a 'special' occasion.
'It's quite typical, wasn't it, to get Chelsea in the draw,' Gudjohnsen said.
'It's special for me and for him. I was born when my father played there; it's kind of a unique draw.
'The first thing I did was call my father. He already knew.
'Playing at Stamford Bridge against a team like Chelsea is one every footballer would want to play during their career.'
His father Eidur had played an invaluable role in helping Chelsea win their first league title in 50 years in the 2004-05 season, scoring 12 league goals and providing eight assists in the season.
The forward played 58 times in all competitions for the Blues that season, netting 16 times and providing 10 assists.
Gudjohnsen moved to Barcelona at the end of the season, ending a six-year spell at Chelsea where he scored 78 goals in 263 matches.
He later had spells at Monaco, Tottenham, Stoke and Fulham during his playing career, which came to an end in 2016.
Andri signed for Gent at the start of this season from the Danish side Lygby having played youth football for Barcelona, Espanyol and Real Madrid in Spain.
The forward has won 26 caps for Iceland, while he had also been eligible to play for both England and Spain.
Andri is the third generation of the Gudjohnsen family to be a professional footballer, with his grandfather Arnor Gudjohnsen having also played in Belgium for Anderlecht.
His penalty was saved in the UEFA Cup final shootout in 1984 as Tottenham beat Anderlecht.
Andri’s older brother Sveinn Aron Gudjohnsen could be set to face Spurs in the same competition this season as he plays for Swedish side Elfsborg.
Their younger brother Daniel is also a professional footballer, with the 18-year-old playing for Malmo.
Eidur Gudjohnsen made 263 appearances for the Blues and played a pivotal role in some of the club's greatest achievements. During his time at Stamford Bridge, the Icelandic goal threat won two Premier League titles, the League Cup and a couple of Community Shields before making the switch to Barcelona.
Now it's the turn of his son to take to the pitch at Stamford Bridge, but this time in the opposition colours. Andri Gudjohnsen began his career in the Real Madrid ranks but, after leaving Spain, has managed to work his way back up the football pyramid to Belgian club Gent who he joined in the summer.
Following in his father's footsteps, Gudjohnsen is also a striker, and has two goals to his name in the Jupiler Pro League so far this season. In an interview with BBC Sport, the 22-year-old explained how he believed it was fate that he would come up against Chelsea this season.
"It's quite typical, wasn't it? To get Chelsea in the draw," he explained. "It's special for me and for him [Eidur].
"I was born when my father played there; it's kind of a unique draw. The first thing I did was call my father. He already knew.

"Playing at Stamford Bridge against a team like Chelsea is one every footballer would want to play during their career." For Gudjohnsen Jnr, it won't be the first time he has kicked a ball on the pitch in West London - but the Gent striker - now 22 - was a whole lot younger when he last did that.
In 2005, Gudjohnsen joined his famous Chelsea father and the likes of Joe Cole on the pitch after the Blues lifted the Premier League. And it's those memories which stuck with the striker when he looked to forge his own career in the beautiful game.
"I remember glimpses of those [historic] victories," he went on. "I wanted to be a goalkeeper when I was younger, but seeing my dad score a lot of goals throughout his career probably just inspired [me and my brothers].
"We want to score also, and to be kind of the main man up front, the one who scores all the goals. So, yeah, it's probably just something that was passed on down the generations.
"My oldest brother perhaps took the biggest hit when it came to being compared to our father since he was the first born. You kind of get used to it, and you learn how to deal with it.
"[My father has] found a kind of good balance between not being too critical of us, or being too involved in our business when it comes to football, but also being there for us when we need support or his advice."
Look out for Gudjohnsen Jnr wearing the No.9 shirt for Chelsea's opponents Gent tonight.
