Andy Sinton

Football speaker, manager and ex-England player Andy Sinton began his playing career as a schoolboy; playing for England under 15’s and going on to play for England on an international level. Before retiring and establishing himself as a sports speaker Sinton spent his career playing for numerous British teams up and down the country: beginning at Cambridge Sinton broke the record for the club by becoming the first member of their youth team to make the England international team.

As Sinton grew his talent and career developed and he soon found himself playing for more well-known clubs such as Sheffield Wednesday and Queen’s Park Rangers.
Now a manager of professional teams and a prolific football speaker, Andy Sinton is probably best known for his time spent at the North London club Tottenham Hotspurs. As well as playing for Tottenham Hotspurs, Andy also went onto achieve 12 caps for England where he had the opportunity to play and score in a number of high profile international games. Sinton is a notable after dinner speaker not only for his eclectic professional career but also for the longevity of his playing career; Sinton did not retire and become a full-time football speaker until 1992 after playing for Wolverhampton and Burton Albion when he was well into his forties.

With his time spent as a manager, Sinton has worked with both Telford United AFC and Fleet Town, where he had previously worked as the club’s football development officer. Having worked on both sides of the changing room Sinton has an unusual and interesting insight into the inner workings of football, teams and player confidence.

In 2015, after a short period away from football, Andy was reunited with his passion after he was appointed the Queen Park Rangers first club ambassador. This role sees Andy travelling the country making appearances at games and fan-events to represent the team, as well as working with commercial partners. He also spends time working with the club's media, communications and club in the community teams as a way of promoting the team. Notably, in 2016 Andy played a significant part in creating the club's former players association called the Forever R's.

With Andy's prolific history in the sport, his after-dinner speaker presentations are ideal for football fans or football-themed events and would make an excellent centrepiece to any corporate event.
