Andreas Claes Andersson (born 10 April 1974 in Nacka, Sweden) is a Swedish footballer. A striker, he was capped by Sweden forty-two times (including the 2002 FIFA World Cup), scoring eight goals, including a goal against England in a UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying match. However, an injury to his cruciate ligament caused him to miss Euro 2000. On September 5, 2001, Andersson scored the decisive goal against Turkey in Istanbul in a 2-1 victory, which meant Sweden qualified for the 2002 FIFA World Cup the following summer. Andersson was used as a substitute in the tournament and nearly scored against Argentina, but his shot hit the cross bar.
Domestically, he won the 1996 Swedish league title with IFK Göteborg, and also ending up as the topscorer scoring 19 goals. These performances earned him moves abroad to AC Milan and Newcastle United (for whom he played in the 1998 FA Cup Final). These spells proved largely unsuccessful, resulting in Andersson's return to Sweden with AIK.
