- Andy Cunningham was a Scottish footballer. His position was striker. Born in Galston, Ayrshire, Cunningham began his career with Newmilns FC before moving to Kilmarnock in 1909. After six seasons at Rugby Park he joined Rangers in 1915. He made his Rangers debut on April 5 1915 in a 1-0 defeat to Partick Thistle. He made 5 appearances in his first season at Ibrox. Cunningham continued to be used infrequently by manager William Wilton before establishing himself in the Rangers team in season 1918-19. In total, he made 389 appearances and scored 182 goals for Rangers. He won 7 League titles and played in Rangers' famous 1928 Scottish Cup final triumph where they defeated Celtic 4-0 to win their first Scottish Cup in 25 years. Cunningham moved to Newcastle United in 1928, becoming the then oldest player to make his debut in the English football League at the age of thirty-eight. He began his Newcastle career as player/manager and then went on to become full-time manager of the club after retiring from playing. Technically, he was the first true manager of the club, as his predecessor Frank Watt had no control over team selection. He guided the club to FA Cup success in 1932 after beating Arsenal 2-1 in the final. However the club was also relegated to the Second Division whilst he was at the helm. Cunningham eventually left the club in 1935. He is remembered as a moderately successful manager of the club, having won 105 games out of 251. Cunningham was also capped at international level, playing 12 times for Scotland and scoring 5 goals. He lost just one of his 12 games for Scotland. After his time with Newcastle, he returned to Scotland where he managed Dundee between 1937-1940 before becoming a sports writer after World War II.
- Andy Cunningham var en skotsk fotballspiller og trener. Hans posisjon var spiss. Cunningham startet karrieren i Kilmarnock, før han dro videre til Glasgow Rangers i 1915. Han debuterte for Rangers i 1-0-tapet mot Partick Thistle 5. april 1915. I sin første sesong på Ibrox fikk han fem kamper. Cunningham ble brukt en gang i blant av manager William Wilton, før han etablerte seg på laget i 1918/19-sesongen. Totalt fikk han 389 kamper og 182 mål for Rangers. Han vant syv ligatitler og spilte i den berømte cupfinalen i 1928, da Rangers slo Celtic 4-0. Med det vant Rangers sin første cuptittel på 25 år. I 1928 flyttet Cunningham på seg igjen. Denne gangen til Newcastle United. Han ble dermed den eldste spilleren som har debutert i det engelske fotballigaen, i en alder av 38. Han startet karrieren som spillende manager, og i det han la opp ble han den første fulltidsmanageren noensinne i klubben. Teknisk sett var hans forgjenger, Frank Watt, klubbens første manager, men han hadde ingen kontroll over laguttaket. I 1932 førte han laget sitt til topps i FA-cupen. Arsenal ble slått 2-1 i finalen. Likevel rykket klubben ned til 2. divisjon mens han var i klubben, og i 1935 trakk Cunningham seg. Han var en delvis suksess i Newcastle, med 105 seire på 251 kamper. Cunningham var dessuten skotsk landslagsspiller. Han fikk 12 kamper og scoret fem mål for Skottland. Av de 12 kampene, tapte Cunningham bare én. Etter perioden i Newcastle, returnerte han til Skottland, hvor han tok over Dundee i årene 1937-40. Etter 2. verdenskrig ble han sportsjournalist.
