The former Newcastle United midfielder is starring for his country at the World Cup finals ahead of a British-record transfer from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City.
I loved to watch Anderson from my Leazes End seat whenever he got pitch time at Newcastle. The game that convinced me that he would rise to the top came in the 23/24 season at home to West Ham where we turned a 1-3 second half deficit into a 4-3 victory. Harvey Barnes rightly got the headlines for his two goals after coming on late but it was Anderson who turned the game for me. From the moment he came on in the second half, he demanded the ball at every opportunity then turned and drove us forward. Along with most Mags, I was heartbroken when we were forced to sell him, but it's brilliant to see him reach the top
Yeah, I remember that game well. Love seeing a ball demanding the ball like that. Sadly, the move was probably the best thing for him, he needed more starts, more responsibility, and he got that at Forest.
