George Anderson

George McQueen Anderson (2 December 1900 – 25 May 1975) was an early prominent member of the Canadian national soccer team.

Born in Bathgate, Scotland in 1901, Anderson played as a full-back for all of Canada's six international games of their 1924 tour of Australia when the Canadians finished with a win-loss-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 an Auckland representative team. His club at this time was Ladysmith.

He played in the Challenge Trophy final of 1926 for Canadian Collieries of Cumberland, when that team were beaten by United Weston of Winnipeg. He was also a member of the Westminster Royals Canadian championship teams of 1927–28 and 1929–30 that defeated Montreal CNR, and the 1935–36 team that defeated United Weston.

Anderson played on a number of B.C. all-star teams, including for Upper Island and the Pacific Coast League all-stars against the English touring team in 1926 and B.C. Lower Mainland against the Welsh FA in 1929.
