George Andrews (born 23 April, 1942 in Dudley, Worcestershire) was an English professional footballer during the 1960s and 1970s.
He is most notable for scoring Walsall's winning goal in their shock FA Cup third round victory over Newcastle United in January 1975. [http://walsall-fc.zdnet.co.za/zdnet/Walsall_F.C.]
He began his career at non-league level with Gornal Athletic in 1959, reaching the Football League in 1965 on signing for Cardiff City. [http://www.gornalathletic.non-league.org/history.htm] He later played for Shrewsbury Town, and in 1973 signed for Walsall where he spent the final four seasons of his professional career, playing 159 league games and scoring 38 goals. He retired from professional football in 1977, though he continued at non-league level with Telford United and finally Dudley Town before giving up playing completely in about 1980.
On retiring from football, he was employed by Dudley MBC as a gardener tending the parks and gardens of Dudley until his retirement in April 2007.
He is married to Janet Andrews and has two daughters, Priscilla and Melissa. They live on the Foxyards Estate near Dudley.
