Scottish
born Jock Anderson arrived in England in 1932 having played Scottish junior
football for Arthurlie. A bustling centre forward and goalscorer Jock
had returned north for a spell with Greenock Morton before signing for
Mossley in 1934 and scoring 47 goals in 47 games in the 1934-35 season.
It was to be the beginning of a lifelong association with the Club. He
scored 22 goals in 38 appearances the following season before being snapped
up by Rotherham United where he was a regular scorer until the War intervened.
By now a qualified chiropodist with a practice in Mossley, Jock returned
to Seel Park as trainer and physio in 1948 and apart from a brief spell
with Altrincham in the early 1960’s he remained at Mossley and was Club
physio as the team appeared at Wembley in the 1980 FA Trophy Final, Jock’s
proudest moment. Following Ronnie Ward’s death in 1981 Jock was appointed
Club President and remained in the role up to his death in 1991. The main
stand at Seel Park was named the James Anderson Stand in his memory. |
