Anthony "Tony" McAndrew (born 11 April 1956 in Glasgow) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a defender in the Football League for Middlesbrough, Chelsea, Darlington and Hartlepool United,[1] and in the North American Soccer League for the Vancouver Whitecaps.[2] He was the academy manager at Aston Villa from 1999 to 2015, having previously been part of Brian Little's coaching staff at the club.
Career[edit]
A tough-tackling centre half, McAndrew began his career at Middlesbrough in 1973, where he established himself at the heart of defence. Later becoming captain – and the club's youngest scorer of a hat-trick when playing as an emergency striker – he was at Ayresome Park for almost ten years, before leaving for Chelsea when Middlesbrough were relegated from the First Division in 1982.[3] He also spent a summer in the North American Soccer League playing for the Vancouver Whitecaps.[4]
McAndrew was signed for Chelsea on the eve of the 1982–83 season, by Chelsea manager John Neal who had managed him at Middlesbrough. A solid midfield player and defender, his early spell at Chelsea was marred by injuries. He captained Chelsea for a while during the 1983–84 season. He returned to Middlesbrough in October 1984, as part of the deal that brought Darren Wood from Middlesbrough to Chelsea.[5]
He returned to Middlesbrough in 1984, and played for the club for a further two years, before being released in the summer of 1986 as they almost went out of business. After brief spells at Darlington, Hartlepool United, and in non-league football with Willington and Billingham Synthonia, McAndrew joined the coaching staff at Darlington under manager Brian Little.[1][3] He worked alongside Little at Leicester City, Aston Villa, and Stoke City, before returning to Aston Villa in 1999 as a youth coach.[6][7] He led Villa's youth team to victory in the FA Youth Cup in 2002.[8]
