Andy Herron (born Andy Francisco Herron Aguilar on March 2, 1978 in Limón, Costa Rica) is a Costa Rican football (soccer) player, currently playing for the Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer. He is a great shooter but is also known for his assisting skills and his dribble.

Before joining MLS and the Chicago Fire in late in 2004, Herron played two years with Costa Rican Club Sport Herediano, which he led to Costa Rica's 2004's title, by leading the Costa Rican clausura's tournament with 14 goals and 13 assists. After two and a half seasons in Chicago, he decided to get back to Club Sport Herediano on a loan from Chicago, but soon after that was sent to Columbus for the second pick in the 2007 MLS SuperDraft, which turned out to be Bakary Soumare.

Herron has also played for the Costa Rica national team, registering 8 goals in 17 games with the team. Being an unmovable striker in the Jorge Luis Pinto's squad and scoring the goal which took Costa Rica to the quarterfinals in the Copa America 2004 held in Chile.

Controversy

On January 11, 2006, Herron was suspended for six games without pay for his behavior that led to a red card in a 1-0 loss to the New England Revolution during the Eastern Conference Championship game the previous November 6. According to the MLS Soccer Disciplinary Committee, Herron was disciplined for making "unacceptable physical contact" with the referee Terry Vaughn and assistant referee George Gansner, conduct that led to him being sent off in stoppage time. Adding to the severity of his punishment was the fact that Herron returned to the field after the game.

On April 19, 2007, Herron again was involved in a controversial incident during a game against the Revolution. Herron elbowed New England's Jay Heaps early in a nationally-televised game on MLS Primetime Thursday. He did not receive a card, because neither the referee, nor a linesman, saw the action. ESPN commentator Eric Wynalda called the foul, "the worst I've seen in a long time." He was suspended for four games and fined $3,000. [http://web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20070425&content_id=90408&vkey=pr_mls&fext=.jsp] According to Herron, the elbow was in response to Jay Heaps grabbing his "private area" as well as xenophobic and racist comments.
