The\u00a021 year old\u00a0spent a season in South West Wales, scoring 10 times in the 2007\/08 campaign\u00a0before opting to join Championship rivals Forest the following season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday was the first time the former Liverpool midfielder had played at the Liberty since he scored for the Swans in a 4-1 demolition of Leyton Orient in 2008, and the 20 year old received a hostile reception from the home crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n

And after the game, Anderson –\u00a0clearly angered by the boos and chants –\u00a0claimed\u00a0that he not only\u00a0deserved more respect but was glad he was playing for a ‘bigger’ and better club.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was my first time back here since I helped Swansea to promotion from League One and I was gutted with the reception I got.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI expected some stick, but not what I heard. It’s just coming from some jealous fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere were these rumours going round I wanted to only play for Forest as it was close to my home.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI’m a man myself and I make my own footballing decisions. My family don’t live too far away from Nottingham, but that didn’t come into my thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I came to Swansea a few years back, I could have gone to a lot of other clubs near my home. It’s just pathetic really and a joke.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I deserved more respect. But it only proves I was right as we’re a bigger club and higher in the league than they are.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI chose to sign for Forest and I love it here \u2013 I know I made the right decision.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
