Stats
Bio
A diminutive recruit from Kerang in northern Victoria, Henry Anderson briefly featured for Fitzroy during the club's successful 1913 premiership campaign. Standing just 170cm, he broke into the senior side for his debut against Richmond shortly after his 21st birthday and managed six appearances throughout the middle of the season. While he helped the Royboys build momentum during the winter months, he was ultimately squeezed out of the powerful lineup before the finals series and did not feature in the premiership side. Anderson's league career was restricted to that single season, and he later served with the 23rd and 65th Battalions in World War I before passing away prematurely at the age of 34.
