Dave Anderson (football)

Dave Anderson (born Belfast, 11 March 1962) is a retired footballer and manager.

Anderson was a goalkeeper during his playing days and had youth contracts with Wolves and Sheffield United. He went home to Northern Ireland to play for Glentoran and Bangor where his playing career was ended by injury at age of 23. Anderson went on to hold back-room and managerial roles at Enfield, Aylesbury, St Albans, Harrow Borough, Southall, North Greenford United and Hendon before taking over at AFC Wimbledon.

Anderson was appointed as AFC Wimbledon manager by then chairman Kris Stewart in summer 2004, after the dismissal of previous Dons manager, Terry Eames, and began by announcing his three-year plan to attain Conference South status. In 2004-05, his first season in charge, Anderson successfully led the club to promotion, winning a league and cup double comprising of the Isthmian League First Division and the Surrey Senior Cup. After a tough season in 2005-06 the Dons eventually finished trophy-less after losing out in the Isthmian League Premier Division playoffs and defeat in the Surrey Senior Cup final to local rivals Kingstonian. Anderson's objective for the 2006-07 season was no less than promotion, and following a defeat against Bromley in the play-off semi final, Anderson stepped down from the job the next day.

In September 2007 Anderson returned to former club St. Albans City, taking over as manager. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/7023562.stm Anderson is new St Albans manager] ] . He was sacked in January 2008, having failed to turn around the Club's fortunes.
