As one of the exceptionally few players to have stayed permanently in the WBT top 16 Rankings since 1996 Andy has always played with consummate skill and last season was no different when reaching the quarter final of both the Scottish International Open and the International Open. This meant that after the season end reshuffle of ranking points Andy had gained enough to hold him in the 10th slot for the 2017-18 season.
Andy always has a smile for the audience and at the same time has a steely determination on stepping out to play in a match, he is never to be underestimated and has massive respect from all players, not just within WBT but also hundreds of other players in the sport.
