Though not a regular starter with FC Bayern München, Andersson is an indispensable figure in the Swedish defence. Equally adept as an orthodox centre-half alongside either Joachim Bjorklund or Teddy Lucic or as a sweeper, Andersson played a huge part in Sweden enjoying the best defensive record in the Euro 2000 qualifying matches. Was shown red card in the opening game of Euro 2000 v. Belgium.
