Andy Dibble (born 8 May 1965 in Cwmbran) is a Welsh former professional football player who played as a goalkeeper.
Dibble is a journeyman who has played for many teams including Cardiff City, Manchester City, Rangers F.C., Luton Town and Stockport County. Arguably, his finest moment was saving a penalty in a League Cup final against Arsenal in 1988 for Luton Town F.C.. His time at Manchester City F.C. was interrupted by injuries and despite being a virtual ever present during his first two seasons, subsequently found himself second to Tony Coton.He was loaned out to numerous teams and only very rarely played first team football for the Manchester team after his first two seasons. In 1998 whilst he was playing for Barry Town F.C. against Carmarthen Town F.C. he was hospitalised after suffering chemical burns as a result of diving on the Richmond Park turf. He later enjoyed a successful period at Stockport County where he was man of the match in many of the games he played.
Dibble also won two caps for Wales and would perhaps have won more if not for Neville Southall.
Dibble finished his career at Accrington Stanley and became their goalkeeping coach. In November 2006 he moved to Coventry to take up the same role.[1] However he lasted only three months in this position at Coventry, he left the club, along with Adrian Heath, prior to the announcement that Iain Dowie would be the club's new manager following the dismissal of Micky Adams.[2] On March 9, 2007 he was apointed as goalkeeping coach at League Two side Peterborough United.[3]
