Meet Andy Halliday, a chap who has graced the Scottish soil since he was born on 18 October 1991, which means he's now reluctantly admitting to 34 years. Scotland has indeed seen much of Halliday, primarily asserting his dominance in the midfield for the beloved Motherwell. Stood at a reasonable 5ft 8in (1.73m) and tipping the scales at 10st 7lb (67kg), he commands the pitch in his number 11 jersey.
Now let's talk about worth, shall we? Halliday has an estimated market value of a mere £128k. If you'd like to check my maths - do feel free - you'll find the source here.
Let's stroll down memory lane, back to July 2007, when a fresh-faced Halliday broke into the professional world as a trainee at Livingston in Scotland. His first season was, let's just say, less than prolific. One match played and, shall we say, room for improvement. However, in seasons two and three, he began to hit his stride, making a total of 45 appearances and even managing to find the back of the net on 15 occasions.
Then, imagine the scene, May 2010, Halliday packs his bags and crosses the border to the land of royalty-free tea and scones. He transferred to Middlesbrough in England, for a rather humble fee of around £86k. From there, he went on a bit of a tour, doing the rounds with Walsall, Blackpool, and Bradford City - none of which warrant much elaboration, this isn't a travelogue after all.
Eventually, our hero finds his way back home, joining our neighbours, Rangers, in July 2015. Four seasons, a short stint in Azerbaijan (of all places!), 107 matches and ten goals later, Halliday said his goodbyes and jaunted off to Hearts.
Halliday enjoyed a fleeting spell of success at Hearts, making a total of 58 appearances and scoring seven goals over three seasons; that is until January 2024, when he was shipped out to Motherwell on loan. Obviously, no hard feelings were harboured as he later made a permanent move to them in July 2024. Turns out, the Motherwell fans rather liked him and I'm sure his combined three-season tally so far of 52 matches and four goals helped to endear them.
Finally, it's worth mentioning that he's made a few appearances in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Motherwell. At this point in the season, he's racked up two starts and been shoved on the pitch as a substitute three times. Not quite the stuff of legends, I think you'll agree, but we're all just along for the ride, aren't we?
