Club career



Early career


Antonelius had a brief stint with Canadian side Winnipeg Fury, during a year in college in North America.[6] Whilst at AIK, he played against Arsenal in the 1999–2000 UEFA Champions League.[7][8] At the time, Arsenal were playing their home European games at Wembley Stadium, giving Antonelius a run out at the famous ground.


Coventry City


In December 1999, Antonelius joined Coventry City for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract.[9][10] He made his debut against Arsenal, coming on as a late substitute for Youssef Chippo, as Coventry won 3–2.[11][12]


Copenhagen


In February 2002, he joined Danish Superliga side Copenhagen.[13] However, he suffered a serious knee injury, 1,5 years after joining the club and never played football again. He announced his retirement in September 2003, due to this failure to recover from the injury.[14]


International career


He was part of the Swedish squad at Euro 2000[15] and the 2002 World Cup.[16]


Personal life


Antonelius began his career playing as "Tomas Gustafsson", before changing his name in 2001. The reason for this change was that "Gustafsson" is a very common name in Sweden, and he chose "Antonelius" as it was the married name of his older sister.[17]
