Abstract: It is shown that if $ A$ is a compact operator on a Hilbert space with its numerical range $ W(A)$ contained in the closed unit disc $ \overline{\mathbb{D}}$ and with $ \overline{W(A)}$ intersecting the unit circle at infinitely many points, then $ W(A)$ is equal to $ \overline{\mathbb{D}}$. This is an infinite-dimensional analogue of a result of Anderson for finite matrices.
