Andrew David Brownrigg (born 2 August 1976) is an English former professional footballer. == Football career == Brownrigg began his career as a trainee with Hereford United, making his début during the 1994–95 season. In March 1995, after just eight league games for the Bulls, he was transferred to Norwich City for a fee of £100,000. He spent part of the following season on loan to Kettering Town and in August 1997 moved to Rotherham United having failed to make a first team appearance for Norwich, despite being an unused sub in the Premier League game against Arsenal at Highbury on 1 April 1995. After being on the bench against Cambridge Utd during Rotherham United's opening game of the 2007–08 season, Brownrigg was attacked by a youth with a hammer and suffered serious facial injuries. Because of his injuries Brownrigg missed a large portion of the season and this significantly hindered his chances at Rotherham United. He joined Stalybridge Celtic on loan in March 1998 to get match fitness, and was released by Rotherham at the end of the season. Brownrigg then joined Yeovil Town, but left for personal reasons and by November 1998 was again playing for Stalybridge Celtic. It was reported that Brownrigg would be signing for Tamworth that December, but this did not transpire so he, instead, signed for Stocksbridge Park Steels. In July 1999, Brownrigg signed for Kidderminster Harriers and helped them to the Football Conference title, and with it promotion to the Football League. On 21 July 2000 Brownrigg was transferred to Scottish side Greenock Morton, costing £26,500. It later transpired that Morton was in turmoil off the field, with claims that they had failed to pay Kidderminster the fee for Brownrigg.〔 By October 2000, Brownrigg was staying away from Morton claiming that the club also owed him money. The result was that Brownrigg played just three first team games before leaving in March 2001, joining Hartlepool United,〔 〕 although he was released in May 2001 having failed to break into the Hartlepool side. He was linked with a return to Kidderminster, but in June 2001 joined Northwich Victoria. He subsequently moved to Hednesford Town later that year and moved to Gainsborough Trinity in June 2002. He was released in September 2002 and joined Wakefield & Emley. He had a trial with Worksop Town in the 2003 close season and also had a trial with Oxford United in November the same year. He joined Maltby Main, but left to join Ossett Albion. He then rejoined Maltby Main in January 2004 and signed for Conference side Scarborough in March 2004, but decided to leave the club the following month and rejoined Maltby Main for the final promotion push at the end of the season. He subsequently joined Hallam in 2005,but left to join Buxton in the same year.〔 He was virtually ever-present the following season when the Bucks won the NCEL Premier League title, and was extremely popular with the supporters at the Silverlands who adapted the 'Arthur Brownlow' song of Stockport County in his honour. He left Buxton in July 2006 because of travelling difficulties and the fact that he was about to embark on a Sports degree at University. He joined Sheffield FC in the close season of 2006. During that season, Brownrigg played a starring role in Sheffield's promotion from the NCEL Premier League, making it back to back promotions from the NCEL Premier League for him. At the end the season Brownrigg left Sheffield, and rejoined Hallam in November 2007. In December 2008, he moved from Hallam to Staveley MW. In September 2009, Brownrigg left Staveley Miners Welfare to rejoin Hallam. In March 2010, Brownrigg re-signed for Ossett Albion in the Northern Premier League for the purpose of fitness for a proposed move to Worksop Town FC. Andy signed for Worksop Town in the NPL Premier Division, after playing three games for Ossett. At the beginning of the 2010–11 season Brownrigg signed for AFC Emley in the Northern Counties East League Division 1. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andy Brownrigg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
