Andy Halliday, born 18 October 1991 in Scotland, is a thirty-something central midfielder, currently gracing Motherwell with his footballing prowess, such as it is. He stands at a towering 5ft 8in (1.73m) and weighs in at a featherweight 10st 7lb (67kg) - by no means an imposing figure on the pitch, but hey, who are we to judge? He wears the number 11 jersey - quite why, one can only guess.
According to that bastion of footballing finance, Transfermarkt, our man Halliday is worth a king's ransom of around £120k.
Vintage 2007, Halliday began his illustrious career as a trainee with Livingston in Scotland - and what a debut season he had making just one appearance. But let's not be too hasty to judge; he found his feet in the 2009 - 2010 season, scoring 14 goals in 32 appearances, quite a solid return for a midfielder...
In May 2010, Halliday fancied a change of scenery and trotted down south to Middlesbrough, England. They somehow saw fit to part with around £100k for him - clearly someone saw something in him. A spectrum of success followed, with impressive 19 appearance in the 2012 season, contrasted a side note-worthy only one in the 2011 and 2014 seasons...oh, and a brief sojourn at Walsall followed by a rather redundant return to Middlesbrough.
Blackpool seemingly took a shine to the wandering midfielder in 2014, taking him on a loan with a total of 18 appearances and a singular goal to his name. Following this illuminating period at Blackpool, a brief stint at Bradford City and then Halliday found himself at Rangers for a relatively lengthy five seasons. Could it be, had Halliday found his home? Nope...fiction, dear reader, pure fiction.
His time at Rangers saw him shipped out to Qəbələ in the Premyer Liqası in Azerbaijan for a wee while - then for some unfathomable reason, he was brought back for a few more mediocre seasons with Rangers.
In the annals of time - or specifically, September 2020 - Halliday found a new domicile with Hearts in the Premiership of Scotland. A generous 2-season spell ensued, yet it seems the call from Motherwell was too strong to resist - so over he went on loan, and in July 2024, he made a proper go of it with the steelmen. At Motherwell, he's seemingly enjoyed his time, turning out 38 times in the 2024 season alone, an absolute marathon for our dear Halliday.
Here he presently resides, making his fleeting appearances and doubtlessly thrilling fans and neutrals alike with his footballing prowess. Of note, or perhaps not, Halliday has made the starting line-up twice in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Motherwell, with three appearances dropped in - for the spice of life, or sub-par performance, only the coaching staff at Motherwell know.
