Club appearance record holder with 55 games spread over 14 years. A utility player in his early years Andy settled into central defence and became a stalwart of the club. With the changes in the way football operates these days it's very unlikely he will ever be surpassed. He also won the Stockport Sports Personality of the Year award. Andy is now physiotherapist at Rochdale. SCAN 830
