“I am friends with Anton’s brother Tobias and soon after Anton came out, AIK played against Goteborg, who Tobias was playing for at the time,” Pavey said. “The AIK fans don’t beat about the bush when it comes to giving players stick but they only attacked Tobias over his dad being out of work! His brother is a really high-profile player and his dad is very big in Sweden but Anton is so confident in himself. It’s definitely more relaxed here but it was still a brave move. Now he’s gone from strength to strength.”
