Paul Anderson

Biography

Paul featured in three Second Division matches as a trialist in December 1987 before being signed up from Forth Wanderers after impressing manager John Young. He was a regular feature in our back line for the rest of the 1987-88 campaign, only missing one match up until the end of the season, and he continued to play almost every week throughout the following year. At the end of the 1988-89 season, Paul was transfer listed and he subsequently went on to join Wishaw before returning to senior football with Stenhousemuir in late 1989.
