The former Ballon d’Or contender has lived a very different life
A former Ballon d’Or contender looks completely unrecognisable after hanging up his boots at the age of just 28.Italian stars Roberto Bggio and Paolo Maldini finished in second and third respectively.After meeting Edlund, Brolin decided to cut his football career short at the age of just 28. Instead of football, the midfielder opted to invest in Edlund’s vacuum cleaners.
He said: “If you want to continue playing at a high level you’ve got to train every single day, but I wasn’t so keen to keep doing that. “I had other projects in my head – when I stopped playing, an inventor came up to me with his new idea about vacuum cleaners and I opened that company.”Brolin added: “If by the December of that year I’d wanted to play again, I would have come back. But that feeling never came and now it’s 20 years ago. Everyone says 28 is young to retire, but it depends on what you’ve done in your 28 years as a footballer. I’d done quite a lot.
