Anthony Vanden Borre (born October 24, 1987) is a Belgian footballer currently playing at R.S.C. Anderlecht, where he has played through the youth ranks since the age of 8. His natural position is as a right back, though he can play anywhere across the defence and even defensive midfield if required. He has also appeared for the Belgium national football team, making his national team debut on April 28, 2004 in a friendly against Turkey where he replaced Eric Deflandre at the 90th minute. He made his debut in the senior Anderlecht squad in 2003.
In 2005 he drew attention to himself in a Champion's League game against Chelsea Football Club, when he had the best attempt on goal for Anderlecht as they lost 1 - 0 to the English champions, striking Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech's post around midway through the game. He finally scored his first official goal ever at home against K.S.V. Roeselare in a 5-1 win (he opened the score) on September 21, 2005.
