Andrew Brown Raisbeck (10 April 1881 – 23 October 1958) was a Scottish professional footballer of the early 1900s who played for clubs including Hibernian and Hull City.
Born in Slamannan (then in Stirlingshire) but raised in a mining community near Cambuslang in South Lanarkshire,[3] [4] Raisback began his football career as a teenager with Larkhall Thistle, alongside elder brothers Bill (later of Clyde, Sunderland and Falkirk) and Alex (later captain of Liverpool, Partick Thistle and Scotland).[5]
In 1900 he followed the route into the professional level taken by Alex and joined Hibernian, making 11 Scottish Football League appearances for the side which finished 3rd in the table.[6] The following year he joined Dundee but did not make a league appearance, spending the end of the campaign with Queens Park Rangers in England.[7] Ultimately, however, he next signed for Liverpool where his brother Alex was already an established player. He spent two years with the Anfield club but never appeared for the first team.[2]
In 1904, he transferred to the newly formed Hull City.[8] [9] They did not play in official competitions in their first year, but their many friendlies included a home meeting with Liverpool which the visitors won 6–2.[10] Over the next two campaigns in the Football League Second Division, Raisbeck made 47 league appearances and scored 5 goals, including one in a 4–0 victory over West Bromwich Albion.[11]
In 1907, Raisbeck decided to leave Hull City and emigrate to a new life in Canada,[12] accompanied by many of his family members including his footballing brother Bill.[2] [13] He died in 1958 in British Columbia.[1]
In addition to the three brothers, their cousin Luke Raisbeck was also a footballer who played for several clubs including West Ham United and Blackpool.[14] [15]
