Neville Thomas Marchese "Ned" Andrews (6 April 1922 – 2 January 2012) was an Australian international rugby league player and trade unionist.[1]
Raised in Newcastle, Andrews left school aged 14 and served with the AIF in New Guinea during World War II.[2]
Andrews started his rugby league career with South Newcastle and earned New South Wales representative honours in 1948.[3] He also toured Queensland with a Newcastle representative team that year and impressed Mackay club officials, who recruited him as captain-coach.[4] In 1950, Andrews was a centre for Australia in the 2nd Test against Great Britain in Brisbane and played well until pulling a leg muscle late in the first half.[5]
A State Dockyard Union worker, Andrews was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the 1983 Queen's Birthday Honours for services to "industry and to trade unionism".[6]
