I knew Andy as a highly successful yet modest character who would always find time to talk to people. I got to know him better on a Salesian football team tour in C. 1972 when the college team stayed at the Salesian College, Bootle. Two memories have stuck with me from that tour: Andy told me he had persuaded some members of the team not to spray me with water whilst asleep (like they had done to other players). He never explained why, but I was grateful none the less. The second one was the disciplined way Andy conducted himself, this included always rigorously wiping the soles of his feet before getting into his bed.
The last and very fond memory I have Andy was a bus ride from the Fulham football ground to Waterloo after a Salesian reunion at the Fulham ground in June 2018. We talked on multiple subjects and he was a joy to be with.
I hope everyone can remember Andy's smile - totally disarming!
