A forward, Johansson started out his career playing in Allsvenskan with Östers IF but later moved on to play with GAIS and making the Swedish National team.[3]

As a 25-year-old college junior, Johansson scored a golden goal in the finals of the 1981 NCAA Division II Soccer Championship to give the Tampa Spartans their first national championship.[4] He finished his college career as UT's all-time scoring leader with 57 goals.[5]
