Andrew Clifford "Andy" Warrington (born 10 June 1976) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for League Two side Grimsby Town where he is also employed as the goalkeeping coach. Warrington holds a UEFA 'B' Coaching Licence.
Warrington's first professional club was York City, whom he joined in 1994 as a YTS trainee. Most notably, he was on the bench when they famously beat Manchester United in a League Cup tie at Old Trafford. An injury to York City's then first choice goalkeeper, Dean Kiely, meant Warrington was required to make his debut for the Minstermen in the return fixture at Bootham Crescent. While York City eventually lost the game 1-3, to a Manchester United team containing Schmeichel, Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Cole and Cantona amongst others, it was enough to see the Yorkshire side into the next round.
The following season saw Warrington involved again as York City pulled off another League Cup shock with a 3-2 victory over Everton at Bootham Crescent, after the first game at Goodison Park ended in a 1-1 draw.
During the five years he spent with the club he made 61 appearances, without quite cementing a place in the starting eleven.
In 1999, Warrington joined another Yorkshire club Doncaster Rovers. Arguably, his best days were spent at Rovers, and Warrington was an ever-present in his first season at the club. Then, after breaking his jaw in a game at Southport, the following season, he was forced to spend several months on the sidelines.
