Sune Isidor "Mona-Lisa" Andersson (22 February 1921 – 29 April 2002) was a Swedish football player and manager. He is best remembered for representing AIK and A.S. Roma during his club career. A full international between 1947 and 1950, he won 28 caps and scored four goals for the Sweden national team. He was on the Sweden teams that won gold at the 1948 Summer Olympics and finished third at the 1950 FIFA World Cup.
Andersason was a versatile midfielder, who would take any position: left, right or center. His only domestic title was the 1949 Svenska Cupen with AIK.[2] His performance at the 1950 World Cup earned him a transfer to A.S. Roma in Serie A, where he played for two seasons and scored 12 goals. He then continued playing and coaching in Sweden until 1971.
Andersson played 28 times for the Swedish national team, scoring four goals, and won a gold medal at the 1948 Summer Olympics,[3] and a bronze at the 1950 FIFA World Cup.
Andersson was nicknamed "Mona-Lisa", because of his blunt facial expression while playing. He was also an elite bowler.[4] [5]
