Biography
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 scoring the club's fastest-ever hat-trick whilst playing as an emergency striker), he was at Ayresome Park for almost ten years, before leaving for Chelsea upon Middlesbrough's relegation from the first division in 1982. He also spent a summer in the USA, playing for the Vancouver Whitecaps.
