Andy Petterson

Andrew Keith Petterson Date of Birth: Sep 26, 1969

Australian goalkeeper Andy was so desperate to make a name for himself in the English professional game that he paid his own passage to take up a trial at Luton Town. Fortunately, his gamble paid off as he was offered a contract at Kenilworth Road in 1988 although he had to wait until the start of the 1992-93 season before making his League debut.

Impressing in pre-season with his shot stopping ability and quick reflexes Andy was ever present for the first 14 games but a calamitous performance during a 3-3 draw at Cambridge effectively put paid to his Luton career.

Undeterred by this rejection Andy went to play for 14 teams in this country in a long career before returning to Australia in 2006 where he subsequently turned out for Newcastle and ECU Joondalup and then went on take up the role of goalkeeping coach at a variety of clubs.
