About Andy:

\\n\\n

\\u201cI started working in football back in Northern Ireland, played a little bit, and realised I wasn\\u2019t good enough to succeed at a higher level. Then I entered into the world of medicine through the back door, I started off as a physio and then decided to study medicine. When I finished studying, I started working in the Irish league. Thankfully I got a job with the national team in Northern Ireland, stayed there for four or five years and then moved over to Liverpool, was at Liverpool for nearly 7 years and finished up as the head of medical services there, before starting at FIFA as their medical director about three weeks ago\\u201d
