Bill Anderson

William Anderson (12 January 1913 – 19 February 1986) was the manager of Lincoln City from 1946 to 1965. He led the club to the Third Division North title in 1947–48 and 1951–52, as well as twelve Lincolnshire Senior Cup finals. As a player he appeared for Nottingham Forest, Sheffield United and Barnsley before an injury at Oakwell forced him to retire in November 1935. He came out of retirement to join Bradford (Park Avenue) in March 1938, but in two months at Park Avenue failed to break into the senior side and was released.

Management career Anderson led the "Imps" to the Third Division North title in 1947–48 after spending just £2,000 building his team. His cause was greatly helped by the division's top scorer Jimmy Hutchinson, who hit 32 of Lincoln's 81 goals. Division One 7 0 0 0 1 0 8 0 1934–35 Division Two 16 0 1 0 2 0 19 0
