Andrew Comyn (born 2 August 1968) is an English former professional footballer who played in the Football League for Aston Villa, Derby County, Plymouth Argyle and West Bromwich Albion.

Playing career

[edit]

Comyn joined Manchester United's youth team at the age of 16.[1] He was released by the club without playing for the first team and, after writing to a number of clubs in the Midlands, was offered a contract by Aston Villa.[1] He subsequently played for Derby County, Plymouth Argyle and West Bromwich Albion before leaving the professional game and playing semi-professionally for Hednesford Town and Halesowen Town.[1]

Subsequent career

[edit]

During his playing career, Comyn undertook a course in book-keeping. In the latter stages of his playing career, he began working at an accountancy firm owned by John Baldwin, the manager of Hednesford Town.[1] After retiring from playing, he worked for a number of leading accountancy companies, and in 2015 was appointed as vice-principal for financial strategy and control at Dudley College.[1]
