One of my all time favourite players - put many sides to the sword before that cruel injury.

 

Well they say the pen is mightier than the sword - and Andy as certainly picked up his pen big time since hanging up his boots - he is now one of the top writers on Scotland's top Sunday paper's - The Sunday Mail.

 

Here is a link to the paper and his most recent articles - not bad, not bad at all!

Oh, and did I mention that he was a star on Scottish telly as well! He is a presenter on Scottish TV's Scotsport - pictured top left in the snap below -

 

 

Not a pretty bunch of talking heads!

 

Oh and he is a football tipster as well - move over Lawro!

 

These are his weekend bet's - it will be interesting to see how well they do!

 

Hamilton are flying high at the top of Irn Bru Scottish Football League Division 1 and I fancy them to beat Clyde at Broadwood this weekend. Hamilton are 10/11 for the win.

 

It?s unusual to see Kilmarnock second-bottom of the table and with Barry Robson in sparkling form, I expect Dundee United to keep to winning ways at Rugby Park. Odds of 6/4 for the away win are very generous.

 

Finally, Rangers have shown that they are serious title challengers by not playing well recently but still getting maximum points. At Ibrox, they'll surely prove too strong for St Mirren. No surprise that Walter Smith's men are 1/6 for the home win.

 

A ?10 three-team accumulator for Hamilton, Kilmarnock and Rangers to win returns winnings of over ?50.

It's now over 15 years since he left us but what memories we have - Andy and Super John scoring goals for fun - happy days back then, happy days indeed.

Deadly finisher who proved to be a breath of fresh air for the Wanderers when arriving from Celtic in the early part of 1992. Walker's goals raised the profile of the club via the FA Cup and with fellow Scot John McGinlay he formed one of the best forward partnerships seen at Bolton in recent times.
