[1] Andrews attended Geelong College; and, as a schoolboy, he had a strong mark but awkward kicking style.
Andrews became "The Analyst" for The Sunday Age from 1990–1998 inclusive, a specialist Football writing role with occasional other articles.
In late 1998 Andrews was elected to the Geelong Football Club Board, led by Frank Costa.
These were turbulent times for the Club and in his capacity as vice president during that period, has watched the Geelong Cats become a dominant force in AFL Football with three Premierships in 2007, 2009 and 2011.
After leaving Geelong College, Andrews commenced a Commerce Degree at Melbourne University in 1965, the same year he began his VFL Football career.
In early 2010, Andrews partly sold his real estate interests to Dingle Partners, and remains a director and shareholder.
