Rob Andrew is probably best known as the prodigious point scorer kicking goals for England, when he played fly-half as part of Will Carling's team of the late 80s and 1990s. He tells us about how rugby was an amateur game back then and how even top players had to juggle playing international rugby with holding down a day job. But before all that, Rob won Cambridge Blues at university in both rugby and cricket, even scoring a first class century against Nottinghamshire, then getting a call up to play rugby for England in his final year at uni.
His glittering rugby career over, Rob is now CEO at Sussex CCC and we talked to him just as Covid restrictions were being lifted in the summer of 2020. We looked at the prospects for Sussex, especially in the T20 Blast and he also spoke of his involvement with the Lord's Taverners.
