Andrew Roy Moore (born 14 November 1965) is an English former professional footballer who played as a central defender. Moore made 65 appearances in the Football League for Grimsby Town between 1983 and 1987,[2] and also played Conference football for Lincoln City.[3] [4]
Moore signed for Shamrock Rovers in August 1988 and made his League of Ireland debut on the opening day of the 1988–89 season in a 1–0 loss to Athlone Town at Dalymount Park.[5]
He scored his first goal on 16 October in a 3–2 home win over Limerick.[6]
In a home game against Cork City on 11 November, Moore scored with a header for Rovers to lead 2–1 but then in injury time he caught the ball from a corner thinking the referee had blown the full-time whistle. Cork duly scored from the resultant penalty.[7]
He was sent off as Rovers lost at Limerick in December 1988.[8]
He made two appearances in the FAI Cup as well as 25 in the League.
Moore came from a footballing family; his two brothers David and Kevin, his father Roy and his uncle Norman all also played for Grimsby Town.[9]
