Anderton finished his first full team game with the Blues managers praise ringing in his ears after he proved what a shrewd acquisition he could prove to be with a sparkling performance against The Imps. "You could see tonight why he has played more than 40 times for England - he is a class act. "Lets hope we can keep him fit because if we do then we have a very, very good player. His ball for the first goal was delightful."
"For me the big plus of the night was the performance of Darren," Bruce said after the 3-1 win at St Andrew's.
