Andrew James Kerr "Andy" Frampton (born 3 September 1979) is an English former professional footballer who played as a central defender.
Frampton joined the youth academy of Crystal Palace at the age of 11, progressing through the ranks before making his senior league debut for the club on 3 April 1999 at the age of 19 years, 213 days. He spent four seasons with the Football League First Division side before joining Brentford on a free transfer in October 2002. He would go on to make 138 league appearances for "The Bees" in a five-year tenure with the club.
Frampton was born in Wimbledon, London and brought up in nearby Purley before being scouted and signed at the age of 11 by the youth Academy of Football League First Division side Crystal Palace whilst he was playing for the Croydon Schools FA. He was later educated at Lancing College. He proved himself to be a gifted athlete and was chosen to represent the school in the 1996–97 Boodle & Dunthorne Independent Schools Football Association Cup Final, which eventually saw his side triumph 2–1 over Bolton School.
Frampton progressed through the youth system at Crystal Palace before breaking into the first team and making his Football League debut at the age of 19 on 3 April 1999 in a 1–0 win over Norwich City at Carrow Road. He went on to make five more appearances for the club during the 1998–99 season, with the club ultimately finishing 14th in the league. During the 1999–2000 season he made 10 league appearances, including a 4–0 win over Portsmouth on 2 October 1999, with the club once again ending the season having achieved a mid–table league ranking of 15th. The 21-year–old defender made another ten league appearances in the 2000–2001 season. Crystal Palace struggled throughout the season however and only prevented relegation to the Second Division on the final day, beating 1–0 on 6 May 2001. Frampton found his first-team opportunities limited during the 2001–02, playing just two matches in April 2002, as he proved unable to compete with Craig Harrison as first choice left-back. The defender made two appearances for Crystal Palace during the 2002–03 season, however, having failed to cement his place in the first-team, Frampton subsequently joined Football League Second Division club Brentford on a free transfer on 28 October 2002.
