Andrew David Booth (born 6 December 1973) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker.
Partnered with Ronnie Jepson, Booth netted 29 goals, of which six came in two hat-tricks, and finished the season by scoring one more in the play-offs, guiding the Terriers to promotion into Division One.
Despite this, Booth had many highlights at Sheffield Wednesday including a hat-trick on his return to the team following an operation, against Bolton Wanderers.
[1] In a game against Liverpool in May 1997 Booth was required to go in goal after Kevin Pressman had gone off injured and his replacement, Matt Clarke, was sent off.
Worse was to follow next season, when Booth's six goals did little to help his team avoid relegation, and they fell into the bottom division for the first time since 1980.
At the end of the 2005–06 season, following another play-off appearance (defeat against Barnsley over two legs), Booth had scored 12 goals for Huddersfield Town.
To commemorate Booth's service to the club, Town played a testimonial match against Spanish La Liga side Real Sociedad on 25 July 2006.
[4] On 26 April 2008, he became the first player to sign a contract extension under new manager Stan Ternent, which would keep him at the club until the summer of 2009.
After being substituted in the last few minutes of the match, Booth earned a standing ovation from both Huddersfield and Brighton fans.
