England star who won World Cup with Phil Foden now a financial advisor after losing ‘spark of football'

Anderson, who was the Young Lions No1 goalkeeper under The 24-year-old now heads the sports department for an independent financial adviser, spending more than half of his time speaking with athletes - many of whom are footballers - to help them make informed decisions on their money. It is a position he knows all too well, having been there himself. Advertisement READ MORE IN FOOTBALL But how did such a rising World Cup winner at one of the country's most successful clubs at the time fall through the cracks of making the big leagues? Well the short answer, according to Anderson, is rushing his career decisions. Speaking to the "I was looking at other young players, what they were doing, and not really valuing the path that I was on. Playing for City and Advertisement Most read in Football Exclusive Latest Instead, a young and impatient Anderson headed to the United States to play for Charlotte Independence in 2018, but that move ended in disaster as the manager who had bought him there was sacked within three months and put him out of favour. Anderson spent two years on the books at Wycombe from 2020, with two loan spells in those years, before falling into non-league and ultimately retiring in 2023. Lionesses' Beatlemania-like homecoming shows women footballers are FINALLY getting the honour and respect they deserve It was five years of hell for the Barrow-born goalkeeper, who confessed: "The spark of football just wasn't really there. "I didn't have the same drive and love for it that I had five years earlier, I was happy to do my day job. The decision to fully stop playing came quite easily." Advertisement Anderson says he is "proud" to see his former team-mates doing well, but insists he is not envious or regretful over what could have been, declaring: " If you offered to put me in their situations now, playing week-in week-out in the Premier League, I wouldn't trade that for what I'm doing now." When he was aged 11 and starring for Blackpool, Anderson was scouted by both Manchester giants. But he also recalls the "daunting" experience of the Covid-19 pandemic when he had no idea what to do with the money he had earned while on the books at Man City. Advertisement Despite passing accountancy and finance exams, he eventually concluded football was not for him, and instead opted to shadow a financial adviser near his parents' house. And upon reflection, Anderson is happy with the roll of the dice he has cast, feeling he can help a lot of budding professionals in a field he laments over how little education is available. He said: "At Wycombe, I'd get questions from older players. I realised there is a lack of education and support about finance in football. "There's not enough education, guidance and support for young people with high earnings. Advertisement "If you're a lower-league player, your immediate priority should be to plan for life after football. If you've got that sorted, you can set yourself and your family up for years. "I look at what I know now and feel like I need to help as many people in football as I can." 3 Advertisement
