Andy Beattie (born 6 September 1978) is an English rugby union footballer. He is a back row forward.
Andy Beattie was educated at The Mall School, an independent school in Twickenham and at the independent Hampton School, in Middlesex, and at Exeter University, where he gained a degree in Sports Science. In 1997 he was a member of one of England's finest 18 Group sides, together with such players as Iain Balshaw, Mike Tindall, Jonny Wilkinson, Andrew Sheridan and Steve Borthwick. While at Exeter University, between 1997 and 2001, he played for Exeter RFC, and is fondly remembered by supporters as one of the finest players ever to represent the club. After graduating from Exeter University he joined Bath, where he has become, when fit, an indispensable and popular member of the club's pack.
Beattie has, however, suffered significant injury problems throughout his time at the Recreation Ground and was unlucky enough to break his leg while playing for England A against France on his home ground in early 2005.
He regained full fitness during the summer of 2005 before returning to Bath colours in the autumn of that year.
Sadly, one's suspicion is that Beattie, at 27, is probably destined to fall into that category of player who, though outstandingly talented, is prevented by injury and circumstance from displaying his gifts at the very highest level.
