Andy Roddie came direct to Fir Park from Pittodrie for a fee reported to be around £100.000, he was the first signing of new manager Alex McLeish, he also came with a big reputation as a former under 21 internationalist and a regular scorer in the Dons reserve side. Unfortunately for Andy he joined the ‘Well side the year after one of the clubs best ever season when the put in a real challenge for the league title.
Despite being built up to be quite an exciting addition to the squad he would never really live up to the billing He became a target from a portion of the Motherwell support and all the confidence drained out of him as he struggled to make his mark at Fir Park.
Sadly it never worked out for him and Andy was released by the club when his contract expired. He had spells with Notts County, St Mirren, Carlisle United, Clydebank, Stranraer and Partick Thistle. Andy also played for a side called Yee Hope and while playing with them he managed to help them get into the Hong Kong FA Cup final, which his side lost 7-2! He joined Peterhead in August 2002 after a short retirement.
