Trivia

Enckelman became known for a mistake when a back pass from Olof Mellberg , which resulted from a throw-in, rolled over his foot into his own goal and was counted as a goal for the opponent. With this goal it was not clear and it was long debated whether his foot had touched the ball or not - only in the first case the goal should have been recognized by the referee.

Between 2007 and 2010 he also ran a racing team , Encke Sport .
