Club career
He spent a large portion of his career at the Danish Superliga side FC Copenhagen, having arrived in 1997 from Lyngby BK together with the new CEO Flemming Østergaard. Todi, as he is known by the FC Copenhagen fans, is one of the all time leading goal scorers for the club and a member of the Hall of Fame as decided by fan club voting. From 1997 to 2005 Todi played 207 matches for FC Copenhagen and scored 68 goals.
On 25 June 2009, it was announced that he had rejoined KÍ Klaksvík, who whoever were unable to maintain their place in the Faroese top division. Jónsson ended his football career with the club where he started. He played his last match for KÍ Klaksvík on 3 October 2009 against EB/Streymur.
International career
In the Faroe Islands, Jónsson is the most successful football player of all time, having played on an internationally high level for the better part of a decade with the Danish Champions FC Copenhagen. Furthermore Todi was the most successful goalscorer for the Faroe Islands national football team with 9 goals in 45 caps, until Rógvi Jacobsen scored his 9th goal against Lithuania in September 2007, then fully overtaking Todi's record away to Italy two months later. Todi is also the only Faroese player to score a hat-trick in an international match. (Bergur Magnussen did score 6 times in the match against the Åland Islands back in 1989, but this match is not officially recognised.)
However, Todi is also remembered for his premature and controversial international retirement in the spring of 2001, as he decided to concentrate himself fully on his club career. After that Todi won only two more caps, both in 2005.
