At Fremantle, Anderson is most remembered for the fight he had with Tony Modra over the No 6 guernsey. When Modra arrived from Adelaide Crows at the beginning of the 1999 season, the glamour superstar full forward wanted to remain in the No 6 guernsey that he had worn with great success throughout his junior and senior days. In the end Modra gave Anderson $200 worth of clothing in exchange for the No 6 guernsey.

He was educated at Wesley College, Melbourne.

Anderson played 21 first eleven games for the Melbourne Cricket Club between 1992/93 and 2000/01.[1]

He is the cousin of Australian comedian Wil Anderson.
