With 2 weeks to go before the start of the new season in Sweden, Anders told his club Djurgården that although he still loves to train, he is no longer motivated for match play.

Limpar will be remembered at Arsenal for many things, the ones that stick out in my mind are: the casual clothesline that felled Mark Pembridge at Highbury, being left on the bench inexplicably by George Graham, and the goal from the half-way line against Liverpool which the media conveniently forgot about in order to portray Beckham's effort against Wimbledon a few years later as something unique. Anders' goal was more impressive since unlike Beckham he was being challenged for the ball.

Anders scored 17 goals in 96 Arsenal appearances. He was capped 58 times.
