Biographical Text
Andrew Cranch was part of the initial Exeter City youth development squad in the late 1970s. He much later made a name for himself in veterans' football.
Spotted playing for Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Crediton by City coach Malcolm Musgrove, he became an associated schoolboy with the club in 1978 and - under the guidance of Chris Davey - was part of an initial group of sixteen youth development players that uncluded Nicky Marker and Frank Howarth. With Mike Radford soon on the scene, Andrew continued to be part of the youth and 'A' team set-up until 1981.
Moving to the East of England, he much later became involved in over-45s, over-50s and over-55s football with a team in Chelmsford and the Cambridgeshire county veterans side. He was also invited to play for an 'England' team in the over-50s category as well as subsequently acting as player-manager of the over-55s.
