After Football
Once his playing career was over, and his war service was over, Andrew enjoyed an illustrious career as a football administrator and journalist with The Sporting Globe.
His administrative career spanned 43 years and included:
- Collingwood vice-president 1933–1940 (unusually, he served as vice-president whilst still a player);
- Australian National Football Council (ANFC) field director 1949–1976 (his initial appointment was for five years, at an annual salary of ₤1,000, plus expenses); and
- ANFC Secretary 1950–1976;
In 1957, he worked as a co-commentator with Ron Casey in the football broadcasts from 3DB.
He was also, again with Ron Casey, a panellist on 3DB's sister television station, HSV-7's sporting programme, World of Sport from 1960–1980; and, especially, he was the judge of the show's long-kicking competitions.

Famous quotes containing the word football:
“... in the minds of search committees there is the lingering question: Can she manage the football coach?”
—Donna E. Shalala (b. 1941)
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
