Anderson was born in Clifton, Nottingham. His parents, Audley and Myrtle were both from Jamaica. Audley came to England in 1954, while Myrtle arrived in 1955. Despite the racial tensions at the time, Anderson has said his childhood was relatively untroubled by discrimination and his parents must take a lot of credit for protecting him from the worst excesses of the environment they lived in. He spent a year as a schoolboy with Manchester United before being released. He returned to Nottingham where at school he sat and passed three CSEs. He then worked for three weeks as a silkscreen printer that he described as "a glorified tea boy really. I'd get the tea, and get the sandwiches at lunch time. I was just a dogsbody." Anderson had broken into the Nottingham Forest team during 1974 and became a regular after the arrival of Brian Clough as manager of the East Midlands club, then in the Second Division, in January 1975. He was part of the side that won promotion to the First Division in 1977, winning the title, along with the League Cup, a year later.The most expensive item with a signature of Viv Anderson (VIV ANDERSON HAND SIGNED 12X8 PHOTO ENGLAND FOOTBALL AUTOGRAPH) was sold in August 2022 for $21.54 while the cheapest item (VIV ANDERSON - FORMER MANCHESTER UNITED FOOTBALLER - SIGNED WHITE CARD) found a new owner for $1.22 in September 2023.
