Born in Greenacres, Oldham, Lancashire, Andrew was a fine wicketkeeper who might have played more times for England, but for the fact that his batting was never more than adequate, and his career coincided with that of Godfrey Evans.
He was a success straight away, and Wisden's 1955 edition noted that he was "above the ordinary, a very quick perception enabling him to seize almost every chance".
[1] The Test was a disaster for England: captain Len Hutton put the Australians in to bat and they proceeded to make 601 before declaring and winning the match by an innings and 154 runs.
Andrew's only other Test came in the first match of the 1963 series against West Indies,[1] when England again fielded out to a big total, this time of more than 500, a follow-on and a heavy defeat.
[2][3] His son Neale (born 1958) is a sculptor[4] whose works include statues and portrait busts of many famous sports people.
