Andrew Scott (born 2 August 1972) is an English former professional footballer whose clubs included Sheffield United, Brentford, Oxford United and Leyton Orient. He was most recently the manager of Aldershot Town until January 2015. He was manager of Rotherham United before that, until he was sacked in March 2012. During his playing career, Scott was primarily a striker but also played on the left wing at times. He was forced to retire in 2005 due to heart problems. Scott is currently a player recruitment advisor for Brentford.
Scott started his career in the youth system at Division One side Wimbledon under Geoff Taylor, but was released before making a first team appearance and joined non-league Sutton United. Scott was signed by Sheffield United for £50,000 in 1992, linking up with Geoff Taylor again, who was then the club's assistant manager. After loan spells at Bury and Chesterfield he signed for Brentford for £75,000 in November 1997, again linking up with Geoff Taylor, then Brentford's Director of Youth Football. He played 143 games for The Bees in all competitions during a five-year spell at Griffin Park. Scott moved on to Oxford United, again for £75,000, in January 2001. Scott moved to Leyton Orient in 2004, but was forced into retirement at the end of the 2004–05 season after a heart defect was discovered.
