Andrew John Thackeray (born 13 February 1968 in Huddersfield) is an English former professional footballer who made more than 400 appearances in the Football League playing as a defender.[1]

Thackeray was part of the Manchester City youth team which won the FA Youth Cup in 1986,[2] but moved on to Huddersfield Town without appearing for City's first team. He played only twice for Huddersfield, then spent a season with Newport County, before making more than 150 league appearances for each of his next two employers, Wrexham and Rochdale.[1] In the 1997–98 season he helped Halifax Town to promotion from the Conference and played one more season in the Football League.[3] Thackeray then returned to the Conference, spending four seasons with Nuneaton Borough.[1] In 2003, he joined Ashton United, where he scored 5 goals from 91 games in all competitions, and for a time acted as assistant manager.[4] His final club before retirement was Mossley, where he scored 4 goals from 74 games, and won the Player of the Year award in helping them to the Northern Premier League Division One title in the 2005–06 season.[5]
