Andy Moore (born 14 November 1965) is an English former professional footballer who played as a central defender. Moore made 65 appearances in the Football League for Grimsby Town between 1983 and 1987,[1] and also played non-league football for Lincoln City.[2]

Career

Shamrock Rovers

Moore signed for Shamrock Rovers in August 1988 and made his League of Ireland debut on the opening day of the 1988–89 season in a 1–0 loss to Athlone Town at Dalymount Park.[3]

He scored his first goal on 16 October in a 3–2 "home" win over Limerick.[4]

In a "home" game against Cork City on 11 November, Moore scored with a header for Rovers to lead 2–1 but then in injury time he caught the ball from a corner thinking the referee had blown the full-time whistle. Cork duly scored from the resultant penalty.[5]

He was sent off as Rovers lost at Limerick in December 1988.[6]

He made two appearances in the FAI Cup as well as 25 in the League.

Personal life

Moore came from a footballing family; his two brothers David and Kevin, his father Roy and his uncle Norman all also played for Grimsby Town.[7]
