Six years ago Curtis Anderson helped England win the Under-17s World Cup – now he works as a financial advisor.
Anderson was the goalkeeper for the Young Lions when they came from 2-0 down against Spain to win 5-2 in Kolkata, India in October 2017. Back then he was a Manchester City academy player and was close friends with Phil Foden, who scored twice in the final to win the man of the match award.
That squad, which was led by Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper, also contained Chelsea duo Conor Gallagher and Callum Hudson-Odoi, Arsenal ’s Emile Smith Rowe, Crystal Palace ’s Marc Guehi, Manchester United's Jadon Sancho and Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White. But while those players and many others have gone on to have successful careers in football, Anderson has faded from view.
