Jon Anderson (journalist)
Jon Anderson (born 9 August 1958) is a sports journalist with the Herald Sun newspaper, Fox Sports Australia and radio station 3AW.
Known as "Ando", he is well known for appearing in a Herald Sun segment called "At the Bar with Robbo and Ando". He also wrote a column in 1993 that publicised the nickname "FIGJAM" for Nathan Buckley.[1]
Anderson has also written, co-written, or edited books on Mark "Jacko" Jackson,[2] Gary Ablett Sr.,[3] Rodney Hogg,[4] and Brian Taylor[5]
In April 2010, Anderson was arrested and charged for driving under the influence and careless driving after reversing his car through the back of a pizza shop. He was recorded with a blood alcohol limit of .139.[6] Following this incident, Anderson's "At the Bar with Robbo and Ando" column was dropped.
