Ronald Edward Harold Andrew (born 5 January 1936) is an English former footballer who played for Port Vale and Stoke City.[1] A centre-half, he played 137 games in an eight-year career in the Football League.

Career

Andrew played for Ellesmere Port Town before joining Stoke City in 1957.[1] He broke into the first-team in 1959–60, playing in 32 matches at centre-back.[1] At the end of what was a very poor season, manager Frank Taylor was replaced by his assistant Tony Waddington, who kept faith with Andrew. He was a regular for the "Potters" in 1960–61 and 1961–62 but lost his place once Waddington had brought in former England international Eddie Clamp in August 1962.[1] He remained at the Victoria Ground, playing in the club's reserves, making the occasional first-team appearance as and when required.[1]

In June 1964, he joined Potteries rivals Port Vale after manager Freddie Steele paid out a £3,000 fee.[2] He scored on his debut in a 4–1 reverse at Workington on 22 August 1964.[2] However, he picked up a flu at the end of the month and, after recovering, found himself out of the first team.[2] He never played more than two consecutive games at Vale Park, and was instead given a free transfer by new manager Jackie Mudie in April 1965.[2]
