That Andy was unusually capable and talented as a student and sportsman, was soon apparent when he arrived at Salesian College, to the best of my recollection, in September 1967. This was the top year of the "Preps" before we went through the Eleven Plus and into the "Main School"
His seemingly effortless achievements in the classroom and sports field were really the result of his great application as well as his natural ability. One could only admire this. For all his achievements Andy remained a modest, and it seemed to me, an essentially private person. However, he seemed particularly suited to the academic challenges and community life and camaraderie that Salesian College provided and he flourished, setting the standard for our year throughout his time as a border and finally as head boy. He really represented the best that the Salesian College at Farnborough aimed to bring out in us in many ways.
