Paul Anderson (born 1959) is a British journalist and academic.

Educated at Oxford University (Balliol) and the London College of Printing, Anderson was part of the small but feisty Oxford Anarchist Group, which organised demonstrations and political stunts, among them a campaign to free Astrid Proll, a member of the Baader Meinhoff group who had been arrested in London in 1978. Anderson later joined the libertarian socialist group Solidarity.

He became deputy editor of European Nuclear Disarmament Journal (1984-87), reviews editor of Tribune (1986-91), editor of Tribune (1991-93), deputy editor of the New Statesman (1993-96), co-author with Nyta Mann of Safety First: The Making of New Labour (1997) and editor of Orwell in Tribune: 'As I Please' and Other Writings (2006). He now teaches journalism at City University, London.

Paul Anderson (born July 23, 1988 in Leicester) is a footballer currently playing with Swansea City on loan from Liverpool. He plays primarily as a winger and can operate on either flank.

Anderson attended Brownlow County Primary School and then King Edward School in Melton Mowbray. As a schoolboy he was attached to West Bromwich Albion but they declined to offer him a professional contract believing he would never make the grade. After this setback Anderson then decided to join Hull City, the club his father Phil Anderson had played for. His performances for their academy team caught the eye of Liverpool who took him to Anfield on an extended trial.

In January 2006, after a series of scintillating displays for Liverpool reserves and under-18 teams, a permanent transfer was arranged. A swap deal saw Liverpool's John Welsh move to Hull, while Anderson went the other way. Subject to first team appearances for Liverpool, Hull City could also receive up to £1 million for Anderson, which is remarkable, given that Hull signed Anderson after he was rejected by West Bromwich Albion's youth set-up.

Anderson was a regular in the Liverpool U-18 team which won the 2006 FA Youth Cup. He earned his first call up to the senior team in April 2006 when he was an unused substitute in Liverpool's Champions League Round of 16 second leg against Benfica.

On 15 July 2006, Anderson made a memorable debut for the Liverpool first team in a pre-season friendly against Wrexham. Anderson scored an early goal in the fifth minute to set Liverpool on their way to a 2-0 victory. He met Riise's cross with an excellent volley which easily defeated Wrexham goalkeeper Michael Jones.

On 26 July 2006, Anderson extended his contract with Liverpool by 3 years meaning he will be at Anfield at least until 2010.

He has been capped by England at Under-19 level.

Since his move from Hull City to Liverpool, Anderson has put in some excellent performances for the reserves and had led some to hail him as the new Michael Owen. His performance in the Youth Cup final last year was outstanding and he lived up to the tag. Anderson can play up front but is usually preferred as a winger.

Rafael Benitez has said that Anderson is one of the youngsters who he expects to break into the senior squad soon.

On 7 July 2007, it was reported Anderson was set to join League One side Swansea City on a season-long loan, and on 16 July Swansea confirmed he had joined the club on a season-long loan. http://www.swanseacity.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/LatestNewsDetail/0,,10354~1069392,00.html

On 09 September 2006, Anderson scored a touchline conversion in one of his final touches as a player, a fitting end to a great career and one that amused many as Anderson had a reputation as one of the biggest players in the game, something not usually expected of goal kickers.
