Playing career

Andy Dornan was born in Aberdeen in 1961. In the 1970s he played for junior club King Street, also appearing in 1977 for Scotland Schoolboys against England at Wembley in front of a crowd of 72,000.
He began his senior career with home town club Aberdeen in 1980. He was there for one season, during which he played two league games. He was then sold with Andy Harrow to Motherwell in 1982 by manager Alex Ferguson, who had concerns about the consistency of his ability. In 1986, he was signed by English club Walsall. He remained there until 1990, when he scored his single goal for the side: the equaliser for a 1-1 draw against Rotherham, and the last league goal for the side at the Fellows Park ground.

In 2007 he became head of the Edinburgh Centre of the AFC's youth programme.
In 2014 AFC closed its Edinburgh and Glasgow youth programme centres, following a change to an Academy system.
