Ronald James "Ronnie" Anderson (born July 3, 1922 in Gateshead , † February 8, 1984 in Chatham ) was an English football player .

Career

Anderson played as a youth for Newcastle YMCA and won as a center forward with the club in March 1939 the Northumberland Junior Cup , where he scored the 1-0 opener in the 4-2 final victory over the Netherton Juniors . In the summer of 1939, at the age of 17, he came to Bury FC in the Football League Second Division . Before that, he had also been to Middlesbrough FC for a trial session. With the outbreak of the Second World War just a few weeks later and the associated seven-year suspension of regular gaming, his beginning professional career was interrupted. In the war-related substitute competitions, he played for Bury FC during the 1940/41 season, he also appeared as a guest player briefly at Newcastle United (May to September 1941, 3 games / 1 goal) and Millwall FC (February 1942, 0 : 10 defeat against Arsenal as a center forward) in appearance.

In the first regular post-war season 1946/47 he was next to George Bradshaw , Don Carter , Reg Halton , Les Hart , Davy Jones , Eddie Kilshaw and Eddie Quigley one of eight professionals who had been under contract with Bury when the game was closed in 1939. In the early phase of the season he came to two second division appearances for Bury, in the games against Southampton (1: 1) and Chesterfield (0: 2) he formed the right attacking side with Kilshaw. From Bury he was allowed a free transfer at the end of the season and after a possibly short stay at Rhyl Athletic during the season break, Anderson came in July 1947 to the capital club Crystal Palace in the Third Division South . For Crystal Palace, he did appear in internal test matches in the pre-season phase, where, according to the press, he had a “better game than last week in his second appearance and although he didn't do anything surprising, he showed that he can think, sometimes too quickly for his storm colleagues ”. In the course of the season he did not play a competitive game, the storm line consisted mostly of Albert Mycock , Glyn Lewis , Fred Kurz , Jim Russell and Jimmy Clough , with all but Clough acting on Anderson's traditional position of right forward striker . At the end of the season, he left the club without a competitive game and may subsequently join Merthyr Tydfil FC .
