weekend as Clitheroe were thumped 5-0 away at War­ rington Town. Anderson, alandscapegar-


dener by trade, switched to the Ribble Valley from Tadcaster Albion ahead o f the 2006/07 campaign and his perform­ ances would go on to attract the attention of Buxton. . After several years at the


Silverlands, where he won promotion to the NPL Premier Division, he went on to make


130 appearances, scoring eight times, in the Conference North with Halifax Town and NorthFerribyUni ted, winning the FA Trophy with the latter. “He’s a really close friendso.


I’m gutted for him,” said Gar­ ner. “Getting him back to the club in the first place was a massive plus because there’s a reciprocated fondness. “We were really fortunate


to get him in. He’s been a great character on the pitch and


in training. Hopefully the qualities and attributes' he’s brought to the club will rub offon the players. “I hope the lads have learnt


from him and they become better players themselves for it. He won’t have wanted to hang his boots up on the back of a defeat but there’s nothing we can really do about that.” Garner added: “He’ll be a


big loss for us because he’s a great character and he’s got a


lotofexperienceofnon-league football. He gets the rest of the lads up and at it because he’s a winner. “He goes about everything


in the right way and he would run through a brick wall for you.There’snotmanylikehim about any more. “He’s been a great servant


for the club and for the sport. He’s had a great career and he’ll always be welcome at Shawbridge,”
