About Chris Anderson (rugby)
Christopher Anderson is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1970s and 1980s, and coached in the 1990s and 2000s. An Australian Kangaroos and New South Wales Blues representative winger, he featured in Canterbury-Bankstown's third grand final win and captained Halifax to both League and Cup success. In 1974, when Canterbury-Bankstown reached the Grand Final, Anderson scored sixteen tries to surpass the previous club season record of fourteen held jointly by Morrie Murphy in 1947 and Barry Stenhouse in 1953. Anderson surpassed Eddie Burns’ club record for Canterbury-Bankstown of 65 tries in 1979. That season Anderson scored nineteen tries for the Bulldogs, a club record until Nigel Vagana scored twenty-three in 2002. Despite being linked to the North Sydney first grade coaching job after Frank Stanton was not reappointed, Anderson was quickly appointed as Canterbury's first grade coach for 1990.
