The safe, strong-marking defender went on to play a valuable role in Richmond’s 1974 premiership triumph.

He was regarded as one of the Tigers’ top three players in their ’74 second semi-final victory over North Melbourne and, two weeks later, he gathered 17 disposals in a solid Grand Final display against the Roos.

Andrews retired as a player from league football at the end of the 1975 season, and subsequently served as Richmond’s General Manager in 1978-79.
