Info:
Andersson was selected in the Swedish team for the 1934 World Cup, where he played in Sweden's two matches in the tournament when they were eliminated by Germany in the quarterfinals. Andersson was also selected for the team that participated in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, but, along with Fritz Berg and Arne Nyberg, declined the offer because they “did not want to be part of Adolf's propaganda game.” However, according to Dagens Nyheter, the cancellation was due to “known political reasons: pressure from the Gothenburg trade unions.”
Andersson, who for most of his club career belonged to IFK Göteborg and was Swedish champion there in 1935 and 1942, played a total of 29 international matches (0 goals) between 1931 and 1937.
From the 1941/42 season, Andersson was player-coach of his IFK, which won the Swedish Championship in his first season. However, after the autumn season of 1942, Andersson hung up his boots and also left the coaching position, which was taken over by Henning Svensson in the spring of 1943.
