LFE is deeply saddened at the passing of The EFL’s former Chief Operating Officer, Andy Williamson OBE at the age of 70.
Andy, a life member of the EFL, retired from full-time employment in 2016 after 45 years of unbroken service to The Football League.
Andy was one of the most respected administrators in the football industry. He was instrumental in establishing LFE in 2004 and kept his connection with the game through his Board positions at LFE and the EFL Trust.
Andy’s unwavering support for LFE and his position on the Board helped to shape the apprenticeship programme and wider support offered to aspiring young professional footballers.
The thoughts of everyone at LFE are with Andy’s wife, Bernie, his family, and friends at this extremely sad time.
