Now then?
Says on the off-ish site that this fella is a trialist...and is playing tonight against Accy.
Is that with a view to the first team, or is this dude a youngster/youth team prospect?
Just wondered...
Ta.

There's a lad in Rovers Academy of that name. Could be him.

Well...The plot thickens!
I knew an Andy Howarth – he was a 40-year-old pub landlord...
Let's hope it ain't him, eh?😉
 
Re: Andy Howarth

the lad at rovers was a good friend of mine at high school...so he'll be 17 now. without a doubt the best player i have played with and will ever play with. when he was at rovers he was playing in the age group above which he should have been..which shows what a talent he is. if its him...good luck andy...i'll try and get in touch with him and find out more

I knew an Andy Howarth at primary school, S.S. Mary and Michaels in Garstang, was playing in an age group two years above him then and was in the Rovers set-up; could well be the same guy. If it is, then i'd agree, best player i've played with by a long shot, could win games single-handedly. Best of luck to him, not spoken in a few years but would be great to see him make something of this (if, that is, it's the same guy). Was your high school Our Ladys by any chance?
 
Re: Andy Howarth

Andy was in his 2nd year as scholar at Blackburn Rovers Academy, Unfortunately he's only been playing a bit part in the Rover Youth team and was getting just a few minutes run out as a sub here and there. Himself and his parents decided they weren't making any progress and asked to be released to try his luck elsewhere. He's currently on trial at North end and played last week at Chester in the 2-1 win along with another ex Rovers academy lad, Danny Finch.
North End now have 5 players from Blackburn Rovers in the youth set up. Along with Andy and Danny, are: Mike Aspin, Chris Rodgers and Ashley Higgins.
I know Andys' parents live in St. Michaels (Garstang) so he's probably the same Andy Howarth some of you remember from school. The lad's quick as a flash with brilliant dribbling ability.
 
Re: Andy Howarth

He was at Our Lady's, few years younger than me mind, I remember him taking the piss out of about 20 of his fellow students - noone could get near him. Never seen him play properly though

Nice one, would love to see him make it with North End, and again i wish him the best of luck. Cheers for the info, 🙂
 
Re: Andy Howarth

Blackburn Rovers have a bit of a history to release or sell young talents:

James Beattie springs into my mind first, and today there were 2 former Rovers trainees playing againts Liverpool: Martin Taylor and Neil Danns. 😎
