Thomas Cowan Anderson

Forward (1957-1965)

Player

A nimble forward of blistering pace, an attribute which brought him second place in the 1957 Powderhall Sprint, Tommy Anderson wandered far and wide in his football career. He eventually settled in Sydney, where he was employed for 26 years by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation as a soccer reporter, and also hosted radio and television programmes.
