Andrew Mark "Andy" Liddell (born 28 June 1973) is a Scottish former football midfielder who is currently fitness coach of Ipswich Town. He previously played with Barnsley, Sheffield United, Wigan Athletic and Oldham Athletic and Rotherham United.
Born in Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire, Liddell started his league career at Barnsley, making his début as a substitute against Portsmouth in 1992. He helped his team achieve promotion to the Premiership in 1997.
Liddell played a part in a significant moment during Barnsley's Premier League season. On the Reds' visit to Anfield to play Liverpool, Liddell created Barnsley's match-winning goal. After being brought down by David James in the penalty area, Liddell could have won a penalty kick but persisted and set up Ashley Ward, who scored via a deflection off Patrick Berger.
He fell out of favour in subsequent years, making most of his appearances from the substitute's bench.
In October 1998, Liddell moved to Wigan Athletic for £350,000, netting ten league goals in his first season at the club. After helping his team to Associate Members Cup success in 1999, he went on to become Wigan Athletic's Player of the Year for the 1999–2000 season.
In the 2001–2002 campaign, Liddell finished as the club's leading scorer, an instrumental part of the team that would reach the play-offs for the second time in succession. During the course of the season, he scored the club's 1,500th league goal and his first career hat-trick against Brighton, following this up with another in a 4–1 defeat of Cambridge United. He received a call-up from Scotland coach Berti Vogts and attended an end-of-season training camp.
