Alex Anderson (born 15 November 1921 in Monifieth) was a Scottish footballer who played as a full-back. Anderson began his career in the mid 1940s with St Johnstone, spending a year with the Perth side before moving back to Tayside with Forfar Athletic. In 1949, Anderson moved south to Southampton, spending three years as backup to England right-back Bill Ellerington before short spells with Exeter City and Dundee United. Released after playing just a few games with United,[1] It is unknown where Anderson's career headed after his short time at Tannadice, though he did appear at then Southern League club Cheltenham Town in the 1950s.
Anderson died in 1999.
