Andrew David "Andy" Farrell OBE (born 30 May 1975) is an English former professional dual-code international rugby footballer of the 1990s and 2000s. A goal-kicking loose forward in rugby league, he captained the Great Britain team and his club, Wigan Warriors. Farrell made 34 appearances for Great Britain and also represented England in two World Cups. He won six Championships and four Challenge Cups with Wigan, as well as a range of individual awards between 1991 and 2004. Transferring to rugby union, he played for Saracens F.C. from 2005 to 2009 and was selected to represent England on 8 occasions.
Farrell was born in Wigan, Greater Manchester and first played rugby league at age 10 at a summer camp run by Graeme West, Wigan Warriors' captain at the time. Farrell is of Irish descent. After developing with local club Orrell St James, he made his first-team debut for his hometown club Wigan at the age of 16 in a 1991 Regal Trophy match against Keighley. Also that year his son Owen Farrell, who would also go on to become a professional rugby player, was born.
Farrell went on to become the youngest player to win a Challenge Cup final in 1993 when at 17 years and 11 months he came on as a substitute against Widnes. He then became a full international by the age of 18, making his debut against New Zealand later in 1993.
