The midfielder helped United win the FA Cup in 1948 and scored one of the goals in the final during the 4-2 win over Blackpool.

Anderson moved to Nottingham Forest in October 1949 before transferring to Peterborough United, where upon retiring from playing professional football he was recruited to Posh’s backroom staff as trainer/coach. 


In 2013, Budd sold a silver plated salver inscribed PRESENTED TO GEORGE SWINDIN BY PETERBOROUGH UNITED FOOTBALL SUPPORTERS CLUB, IN APPRECIATION AND WITH OUR BEST WISHES, 1958 for £360 and in 2004, a collection of 81 Peterborough United home programmes for £650. The collection included 52 pre-League examples (1952-53 to 59-60) and 11 from the first Football League season (1960-61).
