George Anderson was an early prominent member of the Canadian national soccer team. Born in Bathgate, Scotland in 1901, Anderson played full back for all of Canada's six international games of their 1924 tour of Australia when the Canadians finished with a win-lose-draw record of 2-3-1. The tour began in Sydney on May 10 and ended in Newcastle on July 27 with Canada having played 26 games. One game was played in New Zealand on the way home against Auckland. His club at this time was Ladysmith. He was inducted into the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame in 2015 as a pioneer.
