Let's dive into the thrilling world of Andy Halliday, born 18th October 1991, and currently treating himself to a stint at Motherwell as a central midfielder. Standing at 5 foot 8 inches tall, or 1.73m if you fancy decimals over fractions, and tipping the scales at 10st 7lb (that's 67kg if you subscribe to the metric system), he plies his trade in the illustrious number 11 jersey, a digit revered by mathematicians and footballers alike.
Now, his current market value hovers around the £200k mark, or so says Transfermarkt. With only a few weeks left on his stint at Motherwell, there's every chance we'll be seeing him on the move come 31 May 2025. But where did this footballing journey begin?
Ah, Livingston, back in 2007. Young Andy was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, making a single appearance in his first season. By 2009-2010 season, he'd become a focal point of the team, netting 14 goals in 32 appearances, before uprooting to Middlesbrough for a staggering £100k. Unfortunately, Middlesbrough proved a tougher crowd, with Halliday slogging his way through a grand total of 37 appearances over four seasons before jaunting off on loan to Walsall and then Blackpool.
Not finding English soil to his liking, or perhaps the pies just weren't up to snuff, Halliday returned north to play for Rangers, with a strange detour to far-flung Qəbələ of Azerbaijan in 2017. Seems he missed the familiar glens and lochs of home though, and soon enough he was back with the Rangers, but not for long.
Off to Hearts he toddled, then to Motherwell in 2024. Seems he likes a change of scenery, our Halliday. Now at Motherwell, he manages to prance about the field a respectable 35 times and bagged a hat trick of goals over the season. Who says you can't find excitement in Scottish football?
And let's not forget his efforts in the cup competitions. The 2024-2025 season saw Andy grace the Scottish Cup and League Cup run-outs with Motherwell, where he managed to score once. Truly stirring stuff.
In conclusion, ladies and gents, this is the rollercoaster career of one Andy Halliday. But remember, with his contract expiring soon; the ride isn’t over yet. Hold onto your hats (and scarves), as it promises to be an exciting summer transfer window!
