Anderton featured regularly for Tottenham Hotspur in the first half of 2000-01 only missing a brief spell early on with a groin problem.

He did well in the period up to Christmas, netting in the 3-1 win over Ipswich Town in the opening game and going on to score a total of four goals, although three of these came from the penalty spot.

However, he was then sidelined by an achilles injury early in the new year and did not appear in the first team at all after mid-February.

At his best, Anderton is an international class midfield player with great vision and accuracy both when crossing the ball and shooting for goal.

Anderton joined Birmingham City in August 2004 with a one-year contract that was extended to June 2006 in January 2005.

Anderton joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in August 2005 with a one-year contract.

His contract at AFC Bournemouth was extended to June 2008 in May 2007 and to June 2009 in June 2008.
