George Walter Anderson (born January 1893 in Cheetham, Manchester; died October 1931 in Elk City, Oklahoma) was an English football player. Anderson was a winger with Manchester United whose career started in 1911. George would go on to score 39 goals for United, and scored another 39 goals during the First World War, which were unofficial.
Anderson was involved in a match fixing scandal that ended his career. In a game at Old Trafford on 29 December 1917 against Burnley, he was accused of fixing the match after three United players complained to the team president. He was then banned from Old Trafford on 8 January 1918. On 12 January, he was again accused of fixing a match between Everton and Blackpool, and on 20 February, the Football League gave him an indefinite ban from the sport.
Anderson never returned to football and later emigrated to Elk City, Oklahoma, in the United States of America, where he remained until his death in October 1931 at the age of 38.
