Who was Andy Malcolm?
Andy Malcolm was an English professional footballer.
Born a short distance from Upton Park Malcolm joined West Ham in 1948 from Dury Falls Senior School in Hornchurch. He captained England Schoolboys signing forms for West Ham in 1950, and received a £10 signing on fee.
Malcolm went on to become a member of the team that gained Ted Fenton's West Ham promotion as Division 2 Champions 1957–58, and in 1959, 6th place in Division One. He was the first West Ham United FC Supporter's 'Hammer of the Year' in 1957–58.
Described as a ‘feared wing-half with an ability to close-mark and block out opponents’, Malcolm was able to 'snuff out' the likes of Johnny Haynes, Jimmy Greaves and Denis Law. Although he was West Ham’s first-ever England Youth international and one of the finest wing-halves West Ham ever employed, Malcolm never won a full cap for his country. In October 1958, Malcolm, along with team-mate John Bond, represented the Football League against the Scottish League.
