Does anyone know if he's still around? He was at Derby in England a season or two ago and before that he was courted by the likes of Juventus I believe from what I could make out he was going to be a huge talent but he released by Derby a couple of seasons ago and I was wondering if he returned to his homeland (Sweden) to play as I am almost certain he is no longer playing in the U.K! Can anyone help?
He is in Sweden now, supposedly he plays in the lower leagues (below the Allsvenskan and the 1st division below that) for a side Carlstad United. http://www.carlstadunited.se/alag/referat/040617.html
Thanks mate...bit of a let down isn't it for a player who was once being chased by some of the top clubs in Europe and now he's in Swedish League obscurity. But you never know if he plays well he could get picked up by one of the bigger Swedish teams and get some exposure that way!
He wrote to Sven-Göran Eriksson about his problem in Derby and begged him to help. Derby hadnt treated him very well, they promised him that he could study there but he couldnt. Sven usually give all letters to Tord Grip and Tord called Tonton who didnt think he would get an answer and was very surprised. Tonton told him about his depression and Grip then contacted the coach at swedish division 2 team Carlstad United, and they were positive about a transfer. The club have helped him alot and now Tonton is happy again. Sven-Göran said he is going to watch a game with Carlstad United when he is on vacation in Sweden this summer.
So is he still considored a hot prospect in Sweden and do you see him making it in Europe in the future? How is he doing for Carlstad because he must have been there for atleast a season now i'm guessing!
I didn't have a clue who he was - still don't really but I remember him being absolutely sh!t hot in Chamionship Manager a few versions ago.
I admit I dscovered him through Cm but I kinda got interested in him as you do with some players the all of a sudden he disapeared lol!
I'm a Derby fan based in Sweden. Also, I wrote an article on Tonton a couple of years ago. Herou, where did you get that info from about Sven-Goran? Very interesting!
It was on swedish television. They did an inteview with Tonton and Grip in the daily sportprogramme "Sportnytt". I dont remember any more details, it was just a coincidence I watched it.
