Andy spent his formative years in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, attending George Eliot High School, left with no qualifications, and it wasn’t until 1994 that he went back into education. After graduating from Bangor University with an English Lit degree, Andy spent a large part of his career working as a journalist at Britain’s most notorious national newspaper, The Daily Sport. His first book, Sir Alex, United and Me, wasn’t a good experience, and he had to sue his publisher to get paid. Since then he has gone on to write, direct and act in his debut feature film, Out of Court, and has produced a special limited edition documentary film on one of the UK’s most collectable artists, Geoffrey Key, How Great Thine Art series, and another featuring up and coming starlet, Olivia Pilling. As the head of a media production company, he also edited the World Cup single video, England’s Heartbeat, for Manchester’s most famous band, The Fall. During the early 90s, Andy produced his first art installation, which gained local, then national, and finally world-wide notoriety. He has been the subject of award winning Cutting Edge Channel 4 documentary, and has appeared as a guest speaker on many TV magazine shows, including the Big Breakfast and Kilroy. He is a regular contributor to other TV shows including Channel 5’s award winning series, Special Forces Heroes, and BBC’s 5 Live, contributing as a specialist of the Sierra Leone civil war and the SAS as well as Seren, Denmark’s prime time Premier League football station
