UTD Podcast: Anderson proud of England landmark

In an episode which you can listen to from this evening on Deezer and all of your favourite podcast platforms, Viv discusses his time with the Reds – he was Alex Ferguson’s first signing at Old Trafford, and turned out for the club between 1987 and 1991.

Anderson also talks about becoming the first black player to appear in a full international for England – a landmark he pipped another former United man, Laurie Cunningham, to.

“Laurie was the first black Under-21 international, I was the first full international,” recalls Anderson, who also played for Nottingham Forest, Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday, among others.
