Erik Bo Andersen (born November 14, 1970) is a Danish former professional footballer who played six matches for the Danish national team and represented Denmark at UEFA Euro 1996. He played in the striker position and won the 1995 Danish Superliga championship with Aalborg Boldspilklub, the Scottish Premier Division twice with Rangers F.C., and the Norwegian Cup with Odd Grenland. Andersen also played for German club MSV Duisburg, as well as Odense BK and Vejle BK in Denmark.
In November 2005, Andersen was elected to represent the Danish Liberal Party in the Randers municipality council.
Born in Dronningborg near Randers, Erik Bo Andersen started his career at the local amateur team Dronningborg Boldklub. He moved to Aalborg Boldspilklub (AaB) in the top-flight Danish Superliga championship in January 1992 and made his Superliga debut in April 1992.
In his first year at AaB, Andersen spent his time in the reserve team improving his technique, before he got his national breakthrough when he scored two goals in a Danish Cup game against BK Frem in March 1993. He soon displayed his goal scoring abilities, which earned him the nickname Red Romario, alluding to Brazilian striker Romario and Andersen's red hair. In the 1994–95 Superliga season, Andersen scored two hat-tricks, and even scored four goals in a 5–0 win against AGF Aarhus. He was league topscorer with 24 goals as AaB won the 1994–95 Superliga championship, the first championship in club history. He played the first half of the 1995–96 Superliga season, scoring 13 goals in 20 games, including another two hat-tricks. In February 1996, Andersen was bought in a transfer deal worth £ 1,2 million by Rangers in the Scottish Premier Division.
