Andy Thornton

Andrew Thornton known to his colleagues and friends as Andy (as well as Old Bastard and Gaut Face) has the dubious honour of being the winner of the first ever League Of... championship. Unfortunately for him it was only a 2 team competition and hence is not considered part of the 'Modern Era' of fantasy football.

His performances in The League Of... have not matched his early promise, although an 8th place in 07/08 and a couple of good cup runs have seen his stock rise recently.

Zeolites
Andy is one of the UK's leading authorities on Zeolites. For the uneducated amongst you they are microporous aluminosilicate minerals commonly used as commercial adsorbents. Fascinating stuff.

League Of... fans will often see a prefix to Andy's name which changes throughout the season. Examples we have seen are:


 * Wairakite Andy Thornton


 * Willhendersonite Andy Thornton


 * Dachiardite Andy Thornton


 * Boggsite Andy Thornton

Trivia

 * In 1996 Andy read his first book (Charlton Heston's Autobiography - In The Arena) which first aroused his suspicion that a world existed outside of Stoke-On-Trent.
 * Andy Thornton is a leading supplier of restaurant furniture, pub furniture, hotel furniture, lighting and accessories for the hospitality industry.


 * While attending Primary school with Guns 'n Roses axeman Slash, the two became friends at an after-school ballet class organised by classroom assistant Gianfranco Brownstone. Andy attended sporadically at first, but the thirst for perfection took hold as rehearsals started to overrun affecting his schoolwork, social life and health. He began oversleeping, often well into the afternoon, only to be awoken by his instructor banging loudly on his igloo door.  This lamentable tale is thought to have been the inspiration for a later hit song by his erstwhile friend.
