Andrew Mutch (born Liverpool, 1963) was a professional footballer. Mutch was a trainee at Liverpool and Everton but was not taken on as a professional. He was playing for non-league Southport when Wolverhampton Wanderers signed him in 1986. His prolific scoring partnership with Steve Bull began the following season.
In the 1987-88 season Mutch and Bull scored 53 league goals between them and helped Wolves win Fourth Division Championship. The following season the duo scored 58, with Wolves winning the Third Division Championship. Mutch scored in Wolves’ 2-1 victory over Burnley in the Sherpa Van Trophy at Wembley Stadium in 1988.
The following season Mutch’s goal-scoring prowess was recognised by a call-up to the England B squad - making three appearances against Switzerland, Norway and Iceland.
Mutch joined Premiership new boys Swindon Town in 1993. After two seasons at Swindon Mutch was loaned to Wigan Athletic but the move was not made permanent, so Mutch moved to Stockport County instead. Mutch’s record at Wolves was 106 goals in 325 appearances (plus 13 as substitute) and overall 136 goals in 412 appearances (70 substitute).
Once his playing career had ended Mutch went into club management, including spells as assistant manager of Telford United and Morecambe.
