Almost the exact definition of a jack of all trades, Brolin’s post-footballing career has so far involved selling shoes and vacuum cleaner parts on the internet, co-owning a property firm, opening a restaurant in Stockholm, partaking in musical ventures with Dr. Alban, Mattias Frisk, and Swedish tennis star Björn Borg, and appearing in an advert selling Jacuzzis.

As well as all that, Brolin is something of an accomplished poker player, having regularly competed in the European Poker Tour and even the World Series of Poker events.
