John Anderson (11 October 1921 – 8 August 2006) was an English football player, whose career started in 1946.
He played as a midfielder for Manchester United, and helped the club win the FA Cup in 1948 with a goal against Blackpool in the final, a match that is still widely regarded as one of the finest games ever played at Wembley Stadium.
[citation needed] Manchester United won 4–2 and this was the first of Stanley Matthews' three cup final appearances for Blackpool.
His firstborn son John Anderson and family still live in Peterborough although his other siblings all relocated in Manchester.
