After a long and successful career Andy was forced to retire on medical grounds in March 2002. He made his mark as one of the best left backs in the Country and a devastating deliverer of a dead ball. He was born in Manchester and signed for his local club Manchester City in 1986 as an apprentice. He signed professional forms soon after and had three seasons at the club. He then signed for Everton in August 1990 for a fee of £ 800000. He established himself as a regular despite his performances being interupted by persistant knee injuries. He was called into the England squad to cover for Greame Le Saux and won seven full England Caps. At Everton he won the FA Cup in 1995 and the Charity Shield the following season. After eight seasons he left to join Sheffield Wednesday for £ 2250000 in January 1998. Injuries restricted his appearances and the injury that ended his career occured against Crewe Alexandria in January 2002.
