Toni Kallio

Known in Finland as 'the bonecrusher' due to his abrasive style of play, Toni Kallio is a defender who is comfortable as both a left back and centre back.

He began his career in 1996 with TPV and has since played for Helsinki, Molde and Young Boys.

He signed for Fulham in January 2008 with countryman Jari Litmanen, but failed to make an appearance in his first half-season at Craven Cottage. He made just a handful of performances in 2008/09, but impressed when he did play.
