One of the most popular players in St George history. McAndrew made his first-grade debut as a 17-year-old in 1938, when Saints finished last, but became a star after Neville Smith became coach in 1939. No taller than 5ft 4in (162.5cm), he played for City Seconds (in 1939) and NSW (in 1940), and formed a terrific partnership with five-eighth Roy Hasson as Saints charged to their inaugural first-grade premiership in 1941. A combination of injuries, illness and war service meant that 1941 was the highpoint of his football career

Played a total of 69 games for St George
