Andrew George "Andy" Hinchcliffe (born 5 February 1969 in Manchester, Greater Manchester) is a former English footballer. Formerly of Manchester City, Everton and Sheffield Wednesday, he played as a left sided defender or wing back.
Whilst at City, Hinchcliffe was one of the scorers in the Manchester derby on 23 September 1989 in a 5–1 victory over Manchester United.[1] Hinchcliffe won the 1995 FA Cup while with Everton and enjoyed the best form of his career at the club, winning seven full England caps. His England debut came in a 3–0 away victory over Moldova on 1 September 1996, in what was manager Glenn Hoddle's first game in charge.[2] After injury problems he was sold by the Toffees to Wednesday where he played for a further two years. Hinchcliffe retired from playing football in March 2002 following surgery on his left knee.[3]
Hinchcliffe now works as a football commentator on Key 103 and Magic 1152 Manchester, summarising on all Manchester City games.
Miscellaneous
Like his Everton team-mate, Duncan Ferguson, Hinchcliffe has inspired a composition by the Finnish composer Osmo Tapio Räihälä, who wrote an orchestral work titled Hinchcliffe Thumper - Tha' Bloody Intermezzo in 1993. The work was premiered in Malmö, Sweden in 1994.
