Fred Anderson?????

As we are snowbound today, I trekked on foot to the local market to have a cup of coffee. Started chatting with a mid-50ish tall, black chap from the neighborhood who said he used to play for the Steelers in the late 70's.Extremely warm and articulate fellow who still expresses very strong positive feelings for the Burg and the Steelers family. His son is a first baseman now in the Pirate organization.

Anyone know more about Fred, particularly his days playing for the Stilllers.

# 69 Fred Anderson

I remember Anderson as a reserve defensive lineman on the ‘78 team, as one may expect, he didn’t get a ton of playing time. Don’t know what happened in ’79, may have been injured, but wound up with Seattle after that.

i’m guessin his son is Calvin Anderson, who is an intriguing talent

Anybody remember the non-existent Willie Anderson?

When Bradshaw broke into TV doing color, he invented a special teams player named Willie Anderson, who made coverage tackles several weeks in a row for different teams.

Terry thought that was funny. Homer was laughing at him, but maybe not with him.
