10 Sunderland Turncoats Who Played For Newcastle

5. Stan Anderson

402 appearances for Sunderland over an 11-year period. Ups sticks and moves to Newcastle United. Sometimes you just need a change of scenery... Especially if you're in Sunderland! Boom Boom! Anderson has to go down as one of Sunderland's greatest ever players. But after 11 years in SR1, even he felt the need to pack his bags and head up the A19 to Newcastle where he would play for two years between 1965-67. The midfielder, who was capped twice by England, played 81 times for Newcastle before completing the North East triad of clubs when he signed and finished his career with Middlesbrough.
