Andrew Henderson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrew Roger Henderson (born 3 February 1980 in Kent, England) is a Scottish rugby union footballer who currently plays for Glasgow Warriors. He was educated at Lenzie Academy.

As of September 2005 has been capped 28 times and scored 7 tries for Scotland.

Andrew, who plays either as a centre or winger, made his debut in the blue of Scotland in 2001 as a second-half replacement. The Scots won 32-10 against Ireland with Henderson scoring the fourth try. Many critics have called his ability on the wing to be poor and that his place in the Scotland team to be undeserved. Andrew Henderson was one of the rare successes under former Scotland coach Matt Williams.

Andrew Henderson played rugby union for West of Scotland at stand off as a youngster before moving to Glasgow Hawks, then Glasgow Warriors where he was preferred at centre. He is often, unexplainably called "Muffles".
