Andrew Findlay (1899 – 1976) was a Scottish footballer who played as a right back, primarily for St Mirren; he made 246 appearances in major competitions for the Paisley club over seven years (without scoring)[2] and was in the team which won the Scottish Cup in 1926.[3][4][5] He was offered a benefit match against a 'Scottish Select' in 1928,[6] but by the following year he had lost his place to understudy Walter Hay, and moved on to Dundee United for a short spell.[7][8]
