Andrew "Andy" Barcham (born 16 December 1986) is an English footballer who plays for AFC Wimbledon as a winger.
Born in Basildon, Essex, Barcham became a full-time member of the Tottenham Hotspur academy, and became a professional footballer in 2005. He made 19 appearances for the reserve team, including 15 starts and scored a goal in the win against Arsenal that gave Tottenham an initiative in the title race. That season, he was also top scorer for the under-18's side, with 10 goals in 22 starts. An extremely tenacious forward, he was used predominantly on the right for Tottenham's reserves.
In November 2006, Barcham made his first team debut for Tottenham Hotspur in the Football League Cup win against Port Vale. In November 2007 he joined Leyton Orient on loan until the end of the season, and made his debut against Millwall.
Barcham joined Gillingham of League Two on 25 September 2008, originally on loan, and made his debut in a home victory against Port Vale two days later, a game in which he was named as Man of the Match. He scored his first goal for the Gills in the 2–0 home victory over Chester City, and signed for the Kent club on a six-month deal in January 2009. He signed a two-year contract with the club that summer, but left at its conclusion in 2011.
