Darren Anderton, born in 1972, turned out to bein the sports academy of a small club "Itchen Saints" only in 1985 at the age of 13. There he played football for a long time until a larger British club, Portsmouth, spotted a young talent. The fifteen-year-old guy moved to a new academy, where they took him with the mind and professional approach - in the end, everyone noticed how talented this young man was. As a result, when Anderton was 18 years old, he received a professional contract and began his performances for Portsmouth. In 1990, Darren Anderton still did not get enough match practice because he was very young, but from the next season he immediately began to get into the groundwork and became one of the most important participants in the attacks of the club. On the field, he spent as many as 42 matches, scoring 7 goals in them and noting a huge number of useful actions.

Darren Anderton, whose photographs appeared inall British sports publications, cost “Tottenham” about two and a half million pounds, which was in those times good money. And the “spurs” definitely didn’t regret spending it, because for 12 years Darren was a key player on the team. He played in 335 matches for the club and still remains one of Tottenham’s most dedicated players in history. Unfortunately, this team never differed with impressive results and loud achievements, therefore for the account of Anderton for twelve years there was only one League Cup, won in 1999.

There he spent 24 matches and scored three goals, but did not stay in the new club, after a year he moved back to the next team.
A new team of 33-year-old winger became“Wolverhampton”, who played in the second division - there Anderton spent another year and 26 matches. But here, Darren did not stay longer - and also did not end his career. He wanted to continue playing even at such an impressive age, so he was looking for other alternatives. And he found - he moved to the new team as an age player, and finished in general at 36 years old.

Unfortunately, the team could not even reach the second league, so Anderton had to end his career at a rather low level - but he got what he wanted, that is, playing practice at a fairly decent, by sport standards, age. In total, “Bournemouth” Darren spent 72 matches, scored 12 goals and ended his career in December 2008.

But Anderton scored his first goal for the national team already in his second match - against the Greek national team, which England managed to defeat with a score of 5: 0. At the 1996 European Championships, Anderton was one of the key players - he played all five matches without a change, scored a goal for the Scots and the Dutch, but in the end the British lost in the semifinal to the Germans. At the 1998 World Championships, Anderton was also one of the most important players and scored a goal against the Colombians, but the England team was not lucky again - she had already flown to the eighth finals.
