William Anderson

Biography

William previously played for Forfar Athletic but became employed in Arbroath and first featured for us in a friendly against Royal Scots in March 1897. He became a regular feature in the side during the 1897-98 season before falling down the pecking order and playing most of his football locally for Dauntless over the next few years, although he did feature for Montrose during the 1899-90 season as well as making two further appearances for us as an amateur.
