    He was that June and Captained all three North East’s Clubs. That’s when fans recognised good player irrespective of who they played for before.

    We could certainly do with a player of his stature today

    Oddly enough at the times he played for the Muckem and the Smoggies he was always held in respect here as a player.

    R.I.P.

    He didn't want to leave his home town club of Sunderland but the directors held sway in them days.
    As a schoolboy I used to go to Roker Park when the Toon were away so knew Andersons ability.

    When we signed him a few of my mates at the pit grumbled about signing a Mackem but I put them straight and said I bet Harvey makes him club captain.

    Yeah we put 5 past Leyton Orient and Preston and went one better against Swindon
