Anderson was born in Parys, South Africa and grew up in Durban. His father was an Irish born Protestant pastor and former professional soccer player. His mother was a white South African.

Anderson hoped to follow in his father's footsteps and become a professional soccer player in Europe. While practicing soccer at a high school football field in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, he began practicing kicking field goals with a borrowed football. When the high school coach Charles Chiccino saw him, he arranged a tryout for four scouts from Syracuse, Georgia, Indiana and South Carolina. After the tryout, all four scouts offered scholarships on the spot. Gary chose Syracuse after they promised him that he would also be able to play on the school's soccer team.

1998, the "perfect" season In 1998, Anderson signed with the Minnesota Vikings and converted all 35 of his attempted field goals and all 59 extra points in regular season play, becoming the first placekicker to finish the regular season with a 100% success rate on both field goals and extra points, hence the use of the term "perfect season". However, after Anderson made all of his field goal and points after touchdowns during the entire season, he missed a crucial short kick (38 yards) late in the 4th quarter that would have sealed the game against the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship Game [[1]].

Trivia - There are a number of interesting coincidences between Anderson and Morten Andersen. Anderson and Andersen have nearly identical last names, were born within a year of one another outside the United States (Andersen was born in Denmark), came to the United States as teenagers, had long and successful NFL careers throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and hold first or second place in a number of NFL records for scoring, field goals, and longevity. The two are likely to be forever linked in NFL history, as both men seem destined for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
- He also had the distinction of wearing a one-bar facemask throughout his career, even though the NFL outlawed their use prior to his final season in 2004 - he, along with Arizona Cardinals punter Scott Player, were afforded a grandfather clause.
