Danielsson made his debut for the Swedish national team during his time in Ifö/Bromölla IF who then played in the Swedish second division.[2] The debut came against Denmark in Solna, 6 November 1966 where Danielsson scored the game-winning goal (2–1).[3]
He is most known for scoring two goals against Portugal in November 1966, in the European Championship qualifier.[3][4] That same year he signed to play with Helsingborgs IF in the Allsvenskan.
In 1968, Danielsson signed on to play professionally with AFC Ajax and he became a large part of the club's third straight league title. Danielsson came at the end of the season and managed to score nine goals.[1][2] Danielsson also played in the 1969 European Cup Final against fellow Swede Kurt Hamrin's AC Milan, losing 4–1.
Danielsson scored several important goals both in the Dutch league and the European Cups, but after a little more than a year returned to Helsingborg, playing in the lower Swedish divisions. In 1973, he swapped club to IFK Norrköping where he spent another year in the highest Swedish division before ending his career where it started, with Ifö/Bromölla IF.[2]
