Andrew Todd Mutch (born 28 December 1963 in Liverpool) is an English former football player. During his playing career, he was widely known for his partnership with Steve Bull at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Mutch was a trainee at Liverpool and Everton but was not taken on as a professional footballer. He was playing for non-league Southport when then-Third Division Wolverhampton Wanderers signed him in February 1986. He made his Wolves debut on 8 March 1986 in a goalless draw with Rotherham United, but despite scoring 7 goals in 15 games could not halt relegation to the bottom tier.
The following season saw the start of his prolific goalscoring partnership with Steve Bull, who arrived in the November. The partnership propelled the team to the play-offs, where they narrowly missed out. In the 1987-88 season, Mutch and Bull scored 53 league goals between them and helped Wolves win Fourth Division Championship. The following season the duo scored a further 58 (83 in all competitions), to fire Wolves to the Third Division Championship and a second successive promotion. He would remain at Wolves for five more seasons, but despite his efforts and those of his colleagues he was unable to take them into the top flight.
Mutch also scored in Wolves’ 2–0 victory over Burnley in the Sherpa Van Trophy at Wembley in May 1988.
