And shows off the private picture from his very own birthday celebration.
It was in GIF Sundsvall and IFK Norrköping that Thomas Brolin broke through on Swedish soil before the transfer load went to Italy and games in Parma. There, Hudiksvallssonen would have his big international breakthrough.
Brolin’s career
There were five seasons in Serie A and during the time in Parma, Brolin went to the USA in 1994 to become immortal with the Swedish national team in the World Cup. As a right winger, he would become one of the major key players in the historic bronze medal salvaged in North America.

The working years
But this is where the problems began for Tomas Brolin and his career would never be the same again. The time in Leeds was incredibly tough and it got even worse after the move to Crystal Palace.
Brolin finally had enough in 1998 and chose to end his football career in record time after several difficult years. At just 28 years old, he put his shoes on the shelf for good and to this day he is considered one of Swedish football’s greatest players of all time.
