Born Manchester 1960. Andy won 8 schoolboy caps under skipper Brendan Ormsby before signing for Man United in 1977 and two years later bagged a hat-trick against us! After seeming to have a bright future at Old Trafford he was surprisingly allowed to join Brighton in 1980. He was exchanged for Terry Connor in 1983 after winning England under 21 honours. He was a hard working, skilful player rather than an instinctive goal scorer but once scored 6 goals in a Central League game. He had 149 Starts and 44 goals for LUFC before contract disputes led to him leaving for Oldham in 1987.
