He was born at Burwood in Sydney to master carrier Edward Ernest Sanders and Jessie Agnes, née Lloyd. He attended Burwood Public School and Sydney Grammar School before working in his father's business and eventually becoming a customs and shipping agent. On 14 October 1911 he married Ethel May Hindmarsh at Gerringong, with whom he would have three children. He was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1925 as a Nationalist member for Ryde; when single-member electorates were re-introduced in 1927 he was unable to gain preselection for a seat, but won Willoughby anyway as an independent. Rejoining the Nationalist Party in 1930, he served until his death at North Sydney on 10 July 1943.

Personal

As a child, Sanders, the oldest male child of the family, was mature and physically strong. He collected coffee cans, filled them with cement and connected two of them with a steel bar to make a weight set for exercising. As he grew bigger, faster and stronger, Sanders excelled in football and track and field at Jordan High School. On May 26, 2012 Sanders was inducted into the Compton Community College Athletics Hall of Fame, under the category of boxing.

Early life

After graduating from Jordan High School, Sanders attended Compton College, where he again excelled in football and a new sport, boxing. In 1950, at the National Junior College Boxing Championships in Ogden, Utah, the six-foot four-inch, 220 pound Sanders attracted the attention of Idaho State College boxing coach Dubby Holt and football coach Babe Caccia. "He had a good left hand, and for the big man that he was, he was a real orthodox, skilled boxer," Holt recalled. Shortly thereafter, Sanders was awarded an athletic scholarship to Idaho State College (now Idaho State University) in Pocatello, Idaho, where he boxed and played football.
