Sonny Johansson (born 17 October 1948) is a former Swedish football player, who between 1968 and 1984 represented Landskrona BoIS. He played in Allsvenskan during ten seasons, 1971 until 1980. Even though he never won the top scorer competition in any single year during the 1970s, he scored more goals than any other Allsvenskan player during the entire decade. Other achievements for his club included the promotion to Allsvenskan (the top tier within Swedish football) in 1970, winning the Swedish Cup final 1972 and two Allsvenskan bronze medals for the 1975 and 1976 seasons. He also played 3 caps for the Swedish national team, and scored one goal. There were voices that suggested that he would have represented Sweden at many more occasions if it was not for the Swedish national manager of the time, Georg "Åby" Ericson. The supporters of Landskrona BoIS gave him the nickname "Kung Sune, vår vän". In English "King Sune, our friend". Sonny Johansson played 638 games for the club and scored 310 goals. Club career BK Landora Sonny got his football education in BK Landora, a smaller club that also has its home in Landskrona, and like Landskrona BoIS resides at Landskrona IP. Landora do though play their home games at the so-called B-planen or the secondary pitch. However, in the mid 1960s Landora had a good junior team, as they won the Scanian championships in 1966. In the final, BK Landora defeated Malmö FF, 1–0 – and the scorer was Sonny Johansson. As Landskrona BoIS had lost two forwards after the 1965 season, Claes Cronqvist to Djurgårdens IF and Hasse "HP" Persson", who stepped down at the same time, Landskrona BoIS was in need of a striker already in 1966. And the tall Sonny was a plausible choice, but he was only 16 years old and had to bide his time a little while longer. Transfer to Landskrona BoIS A year later, Sonny was considered a talent, and Djurgården from Stockholm made Sonny an offer, just as they had done with Claes Cronqvist two years earlier. But unlike Cronqvist, Sonny Johansson had his doubts of moving. But together with his father, Oscar, he made the journey up to the Swedish Capital. The transfer seemed likely but Sonny eventually declined the offer from Djurgården, stating "Dad would become lonesome if I move". And only a month later Sonny put his signature on a contract
