Career

Anderson's first occupational interest was journalism. As an agent, she has represented Don Hutchison, Julian Dicks, Michael Hughes, Joe Royle and more than 50 football players over her career. She has also represented companies such as Universal and Paramount, and worked on brands such as Superman and Bugs Bunny.[1]

In 1993, Anderson negotiated the sale of Julian Dicks from the West Ham to Liverpool for £3 million.[2]
