Arne Andersson (soccer player)
Arne Rudolf Andersson (born March 13, 1921 in Kinna , † February 23, 2003 in Fritsla ) was a Swedish football player . The offensive player ran for IF Elfsborg and AIK in the Allsvenskan in the 1940s .
Career
Andersson played at Fritsla IF from the mid-1930s . In the early 1940s he moved to IF Elfsborg in Allsvenskan. There he mainly came into play in the reserve team, and his military service prevented him from establishing himself in the team. In the season 1942/43 he came to his only use for the club in the top division, when he met the Gothenburg club GAIS he scored a goal in the 3: 4 defeat in May 1943.
After Andersson found a job with Ericsson in Stockholm after completing his military service in 1943 , he switched to AIK. After the departure of Herold Wolfbrandt , the club needed a center forward . Also in his first division debut for his second club - this time against GAIS local rivals IFK Göteborg - he scored again in a 3-1 win. In his first season he scored a total of five goals in nine games. In the following years he increasingly moved to the half position, by late summer 1946 he scored a total of twelve goals in 45 championship games. A highlight of his time at the club was a friendly game against Charlton Athletic in 1946 , in which the team equalized a 7-1 deficit - so not a few speak of the “Alla tiders AIK match”, the “AIK game of all time”.
Andersson returned to Fritsla to help out in his father's business. From then on he played again for the lower-class club Fritsla IF .
