Who is Andy Beasley?

Andrew "Andy" Beasley is a former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He is currently head goalkeeper coach at Sunderland.

He began his footballing career with Luton Town but left in 1984 without making a first-team appearance, and signed for Mansfield Town. He was at Field Mill for nine years, during which time he played a total of 109 competitive games. He helped Mansfield win promotion to the Third Division in 1986, although they were relegated back to the Fourth Division in 1991. Beasley was in the team when Mansfield won promotion to the new Division Two in 1992, but left after their relegation in 1993.

Early in the 1986–87, Beasley was loaned to Peterborough United. He was also loaned to Bristol Rovers for the final weeks of the 1992–93 season, but played just one game and was unable to prevent their relegation from Division One.

Beasley then signed for Doncaster Rovers and was their first choice goalkeeper in 1993–94, but after just one season was on the move again, this time to Chesterfield.
