Where is Darren Anderton now?
Tottenham Hotspur legend Darren Anderton retired from playing in December 2008 after a two-year spell at League One side Bournemouth.
Winding up his career in the lower leagues, he scored the winning goal for Bournemouth with a spectacular volley in his last ever professional game after coming off the bench in the 88th minute.
Despite injuries hindering his career, Anderton still managed to chalk up 318 Premier League appearances in his 12 years at Spurs winning the League Cup with them in 1999.
He was also a key member of the England national side in the mid to late nineties and made 30 appearances, scoring seven goals.
A little known fact about him is that he qualified to play for Scotland through his father and went for trials for Scotland as a 16-year-old but was told he wasn’t good enough.
In 2010 Anderton released his autobiography Take Note! The Autobiography with Mike Donovan
He also revealed that Manchester United came in for him in 1995 but after Spurs owner Alan Sugar got wind of the interest he invited him to his house and didn’t let him leave until he had signed a new contract.
Anderton now lives in California but still works in the UK media both on television and in print and has also represented Spurs as a club ambassador for their 2018 US pre-season tour.
He has made it clear in interviews that he has no desire to go into football coaching at a later date.
