Brolin pulled himself into Santa’s famous white fur-trimmed red coat and also had a red hat to go with it.

His wife Marielle Larsson also joined the fun and matched chubby Brolin with a coat and hat.

The former Sweden and Parma player cut his playing career short at the age of 28 after struggling with injury.

About his decision to retire, Brolin told FourFourTwo: “If you want to keep playing at a high level, you have to practice every day, but I don’t want to keep doing that.

“I had other projects in mind – when I stopped playing, an inventor gave me a new idea for a vacuum cleaner and I started that company.

“If by December of that year I wanted to play again, I would have gone back.
