John Anderson (hurler)

John Anderson, born on 14 October 1977, is an Irish retired hurler who played for the Cork Senior Championship club Glen Rovers and for the Cork senior hurling team for two seasons, usually lining out as a right wing-forward. He broke onto the Glen's senior team at eighteen in 1996 after success in the Cork Under-21 Championship and made 41 championship appearances for the club before retiring in 2012. With Cork he was part of the under-21 team that won back-to-back All-Ireland Championships in 1997 and 1998, and he joined the senior team in 2003. He was better known as a panellist than a member of the starting fifteen, making five combined National League and Championship appearances until 2004, when he was a non-playing member of Cork's All-Ireland winning team and also secured a Munster Championship medal as a non-playing substitute.
