Club Career
Born at Amager, Andersen started his career in Fremad Amager, where he made his senior debut at the age of 16. In July 1982, he moved abroad to play for Belgian club RSC Anderlecht in the Jupiler League championship. In his first season with the club, at the age of 18, he won the international 1983 UEFA Cup tournament. In the following years, he won three Jupiler League championships and two Belgian Cups with Anderlecht.
Andersen moved on to Germany in July 1990, where he played for German Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln. He did not win anything in his time with Köln. Though the club reached the 1991 DFB-Pokal cup final, they were beaten by Werder Bremen in penalty shootout. Following his knee injury at the UEFA Euro 1992, Andersen spent 11 months in rehabilitation, before he returned for Köln in May 1993. He soon thereafter suffered another knee injury to his cruciate ligament, and was out until February 1994. Following continued injury problems, he finally became fit for the 1996–97 season where he played 28 of 34 games. After another injury, he ended his career in May 1998, 33 years old, and went on to become a sports agent in December that year.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:
“Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a man’s. It is in the boys’ gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
