One of the best football players in the world in the mid 90’s Tomas Brolin was seen playing Unibet Open in Copenhagen yesterday. While most players at the tournament had no clue about which kind of legend he actually is, Unibet asked Remko Rinkema to do a portrait about Sweden’s most popular football player in the 90’s.
