First published in Neon Nottingham Magazine<\/a> our own Matt Benton-Smith interviews former Forest and Mansfield Town winger Paul Anderson on his career so far.<\/em><\/p>\n

Imagine what it is like to find yourself training with college kids at Mansfield Town, when only 10 years earlier you were sitting on the bench for the Champions of Europe, hoping to one day break into the first team. \u201cI was having to train with lads who weren\u2019t even youth team players, they were college kids,\u201d recalls Paul Anderson. \u201cAnd that\u2019s no disrespect to college kids but when you\u2019re an elite athlete and you\u2019ve played at the levels I\u2019ve played at to have to go in and do these things\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

This is what can happen when your relationship with a manager completely breaks down. Things had begun quite well for Paul at Mansfield. \u201cIt was Steve Evans who signed me. I played quite a lot, and when I was in the team I think right at the end we were fourth with a game in hand, so I had a massive part to play in that. Yes I didn\u2019t score or assist as many as I\u2019d have liked at that time but I was playing right back for a lot of the season and to be fair we didn\u2019t lose many when I played.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the arrival of David Flitcroft saw things take a drastic turn at Field Mill for Anderson \u201cWe know what football\u2019s like\u2026 the old manager goes in, he\u2019s signed quite a few of us, a new manager comes in and he wants to have his stamp on things\u2026 myself and another lad we were like captain\/vice-captain and he just pushed us aside and treated us like dirt, and it was out of my hands.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was nothing down to me being a bad egg or a bad character.\u201d Paul asserts \u201cIf you go to any player, any manager that I\u2019ve played for, other than him, they will not have a bad word to say about me. So he had an issue from the start, but at the end of the day he had the biggest budget in the league and probably the best team in the league and he failed to get that team promoted 2 years in a row so I can sleep well at night anyway, I know I do!\u201d<\/p>\n

A lifelong passion for Paul, football is all he has known since young. \u201cYou know what it\u2019s like as a kid\u2026 you just want to play football and have fun with it.\u201d But at the age of 10, he started to get more committed to a long-term future in the game playing with both Leicester City and Northampton youth teams. \u201cI didn\u2019t quite make it, I just wanted to play with my mates at that stage.\u201d Paul continued \u201cI signed for West Brom when I was 13 and that\u2019s when I thought \u2018I\u2019ve got half a sniff here of being professional\u2019 but then I got released from the under 16\u2019s so at that point you thought that football was done.\u201d<\/p>\n

But a chance came when he trialled successfully for Hull City. Anderson was given a youth contract at the Humberside club and then bought by the then European champions, Liverpool, in 2006 . He took the move in his stride as a youngster \u201cWithin 18 months I\u2019ve gone from thinking I\u2019m never gonna play football to being on the bench in the Champions League for the Champions League champions.\u201d However, Paul was unfazed by this opportunity, \u201cWhen you\u2019re in it you just feel like that\u2019s normal\u2026 to be an elite athlete you have to believe that you\u2019re good enough to do what you\u2019re doing and I believed I was good enough to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anderson finally got first-team game time with a loan move to League One Swansea \u201cWe won the league, I had an amazing experience and it really put me in the shop window for other football clubs.\u201d He said \u201cLiverpool obviously thought I\u2019d gone out and done really well.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of that season they said \u2018look you\u2019ve conquered League One\u2026 we want you to go out on loan in the Championship, go and tear it up a little bit.\u2019\u201d Paul explains. \u201cThe 2 options through my agent were Swansea and Forest, Liverpool were asking for a loan fee and Forest bent over backwards to do anything to get me and that\u2019s when I ended up signing for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lately, Anderson has been open about his battle with mental health, admitting that his fall from grace at Mansfield put him in a very dark place \u201cThe reason why I struggled wasn\u2019t because of pressure, wasn\u2019t because of disappointment or losing or feeling lonely or anything like that.\u201d Paul explains. \u201cMy issue was I was being treated extremely badly by one or two people who were really damaging my name and my career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in a bad place and it was affecting me, it was affecting my family, and that\u2019s not ok for someone to do that to other people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul continues to offer his advice to anybody struggling like himself. \u201cTo other people who are going through it, speak to the people closest to you. They will be the ones that want to help and don\u2019t feel like you\u2019re a burden on people, which I did at times. I didn\u2019t want to share stuff.\u201d He reminisces. \u201cHalf of my friends, half of my family have no idea what I was going through\u2026 but I should have opened up and I should have shared that more. It\u2019s a tough place but there are lots and lots of people out there who can help.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as playing Championship football at a young age, Anderson was highly regarded within the national setup, making 4 appearances at under-19 level whilst scoring once. He feels he could and should have furthered his national team career \u201cI\u2019m not 100% sure why I didn\u2019t get an under-21\u2019s opportunity, I think I should have definitely got that chance. At 18,19,20 I\u2019m playing constant Championship football at one of the top teams\u2026 I believe I should have been given an opportunity at that level. It\u2019s just out of your hands completely and it\u2019s just 100% down to performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since representing Bradford, Northampton, Mansfield and Plymouth in the lower half of the football rankings, the winger now finds himself a free agent but insists his future will be in football, whether it\u2019s as a coach or player. \u201cI was surprised I didn\u2019t have more offers with what I\u2019ve achieved. I had a massive part to play in Northampton getting promoted because they were 18th when I signed. If I\u2019m honest, if there was a league club interested I think I would carry on playing but I don\u2019t want to just cling on and hope for something when technically my last game of football was winning at Wembley and I look at that and think \u2018what a way to go out!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul admits he has concerns about going back into the beautiful game but doesn\u2019t think they will be enough to put him off. \u201cThere\u2019s no stability in it whatsoever and look, the likelihood is that coaching\u2019s more of a cut-throat business than playing so I know what I\u2019m getting myself into but I\u2019m fortunate to have a very supportive family, but at the end of the day, would I want to go into coaching if it was that bad? I\u2019ve got that much experience to pass onto the next generation that I want to be able to give other lads the opportunity that I\u2019ve had. I actually think I\u2019ll be a better coach than I was a footballer!\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout his career, Paul has had to give up a lot for his job and is ready to show his commitment yet again \u201cYou don\u2019t get to do stuff with your family and if there\u2019s weddings, birthday parties it\u2019s tough\u2026 your job comes first. At this moment in time I\u2019m prepared to miss all that and my family knows that but moving further down the line I can\u2019t say I\u2019m prepared to give that up in a few years time.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a career of ups and downs, Paul still feels privileged to have had his 15 years in the game. \u201cCertain things haven\u2019t fell for me but I also appreciate that I\u2019ve been very fortunate to have the career I\u2019ve had.\u201d The winger concludes \u201cJust to represent my country at any level was an amazing achievement for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
