Tomas Antonelius

Who is Tomas Antonelius?

Tomas Antonelius is a Swedish former footballer, who became an economics student since his retirement. He began his career playing as "Tomas Gustafsson", before changing his name in 2001. The reason for this change was that "Gustafsson" is a very common name in Sweden and it caused a lot of confusion, he chose "Antonelius" as it was the married name of his older sister.

A self-confessed AIK supporter, Antonelius played for Brommapojkarna, AIK, Coventry City in the Premier League and Copenhagen in Denmark. He also had a brief stint with Canadian side Winnipeg Fury, during a year in college in North America.
