Am trying to find out from whom Stan Anderson was descended as I am given to understand he was a cousin of my mother-in-law. I know he was born Horden in the 1930's but am trying to find out which branch my husbands family he belongs too. My mother-in-law's maiden name was Anderson and came from South Shields.

An England international who earned two caps while at Sunderland, he also played for Newcastle and Middlesbrough, becoming the first player to captain all three big north-east clubs. He succeeded Raich Carter as Middlesbrough manager in April 1966 and remained at the club until resigning in April 1973 to be replaced by Jack Charlton. In his time the club were relegated from and promoted to the Football League second division. After leaving Middlesbrough he managed in Greece for AEK Athens FC and Panathinaikos FC and in England, where he became boss at QPR, Doncaster Rovers and Bolton Wanderers before giving up management after resigning in 1981.
