Andy Couzens (born 4 June 1975) is a retired English footballer who was a midfielder. He was born in Shipley, and started his career with Leeds United, for whom he played in the 1993 FA Youth Cup final, when they beat Manchester United. He also managed 29 Premier League appearances for Leeds, scoring once, and for a while was tipped for a bright future in the game, but he never lived up to expectations and in 1997 he dropped down two divisions to sign for Carlisle United.[1]
After Carlisle United were relegated in 1998 and narrowly avoided relegation from the Football League completely a year later, he signed for Blackpool in Division Two but was unable to prevent their relegation at the end of the 1999-2000 season.
He then left the Bloomfield Road club and his once promising career was over at professional level by the time he turned 25.
