Book Description
Born in the Durham mining village of Horden Stan Anderson didn’t go far from home in a career that spanned more than 500 games. He was a midfield player with, respectively, Sunderland, Newcastle United and Middlesbrough, the north-east’s big three. And was the only player to captain them all. Good enough to win two England caps, Stan played in the same Sunderland team as Len Shackleton, another star to turn out for Newcastle and Sunderland, Brian Clough and Ron Revie, two men who made an indelible mark on football management. This is his story.
