Antonelius - overlaps well out wide. (Allsport)
TOMAS ANTONELIUS
Position: Defender
Born: 07.05.73
Club: FC Copenhagen
Coventry fans will be familiar with the names Tomas Antonelius and Tomas Gustafsson.
But people outside Highfield Road and the Swedish national side may not realise that the names refer to the same player.
During a lengthy spell out injured, the defender decided to change his surname to Antonelius "because there are so few of them".
His chances at Highfield Road were severely limited by injuries and he opted to join FC Copenhagen earlier this year in a bid to cement his World Cup spot.
During his time at AIK, Antonelius had Champions League experience and will be hoping to shine on an even bigger stage this summer.
The strong-running full-back attacks well, often overlapping down the flank and as a good crosser of the ball he is a valuable player for any manager to have.
