"After retiring from football, Tomas Brolin settled to become a businessman and returned to his homeland where he owns an Italian-Swedish restaurant called "Undici" (Italian for "11", the number he wore in Parma). He also invested money in real estate and - to some public amusement - in a firm selling a new type of mouthpiece for vacuum cleaners. Tomas has also played in Swedish non-league football, intriguingly as a goalkeeper for Hudiksvalls A.B.K. where his brother Håkan Brolin played. He has also appeared in a video by Dr Alban along which also featured other famous Swedish sportsmen, including Bjorn Borg. Brolin is seen in the back of a limo and lying in a hottub surrounded by stereotypically blonde Swedish ladies"
