Daniel Lennart Andersson, (born 18 December 1972) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.[1]

Club career

Andersson played for clubs including Trelleborgs FF, AIK,[2] Helsingborgs IF[3] and Hibernian[4] in Scotland.

When playing in Scotland for Hibernian Andersson helped them reach the 2004 Scottish League Cup Final, which they lost 2 - 0 to Livingston.[5] In the semi-final against Rangers he saved a Mikel Arteta penalty in normal time and then saved two further penalties in the shootout, from Michael Ball and Zurab Khizanishvili.[6]

After retiring in 2015, Andersson came out of retirement - at the age of 45 - when he signed a short-term contract for the rest of the season with Helsingborgs IF on 28 September 2018, after first-choice goalkeeper, Pär Hansson, got injured for the rest of the season.[7]

International career

Andersson was capped once by the Sweden national team, in 2001.[8]
