Andrew Robertson is a Scottish left-back who plays for Liverpool. He also captains the Scotland national team. He will join Tottenham Hotspur on July 1, 2026.
He started his senior career in 2012 with Queen’s Park, who were amateur at the time. He then moved to Dundee United, where he was runner-up in the 2014 Scottish Cup. He was named PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year and made the Team of the Year before joining Hull City in July 2014 for £2.85 million. In his three seasons at Hull, he was relegated, promoted, and then relegated again.
Andrew Robertson joined Liverpool in July 2017 for an initial £8 million. With Liverpool, he won the Champions League in 2019, the Premier League in 2020, the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup, and the EFL Cup and FA Cup double in 2022. Winning the Community Shield in 2022 meant he had won every major trophy available to Liverpool. He added another EFL Cup in 2024 and a second Premier League title in 2025.
He was named to the PFA Team of the Year in 2019 and 2020. UEFA named him in their Champions League Team of the Season in 2019 and again in 2022, as well as their fans’ Team of the Year in 2019. He was also included in UEFA’s breakthrough team in 2018.
5 Fun Facts You Didn’t Know About Andrew Robertson
His First Job Was Working the Tills at M&S
Before lifting Champions League trophies, Andrew Robertson worked the tills at Marks & Spencer in Glasgow while playing for Queen’s Park in the fourth tier. He wasn’t earning a proper wage, but just travel expenses. Just before getting the job in August 2012, he tweeted: “Life at this age is rubbish with no money. #needajob.” Humble beginnings.
Released by Celtic for Being ‘Too Small’
Growing up as a loyal Celtic fan, Andrew Robertson joined their youth academy. But at age 15, he was released for being deemed “too small.” He was “very upset” at the time, but in hindsight, called it “probably the best thing that happened” to him. He joked it was the “best decision Celtic ever made… for me.”
His Father Played in a Full Metal Back Brace
Andrew Robertson’s determination comes from his father, Brian. As a young man, Brian suffered a severe spinal injury and wore a metal brace from waist to neck whenever he played football with friends. Despite this, he never missed a game. His former teammate said: “Andy has got his determination, that never-give-up attitude, from his dad.”
He’s an MBE – with the Humour to Match
In 2021, Andrew Robertson was appointed an MBE for services to football. True to his self-deprecating nature, he once sent a Liverpool fan a signed shirt of Roberto Firmino after the youngster donated to a foodbank with the message: “Because nobody wants the left-back’s shirt.” Classic Robbo humour.
The Scotland Squad’s ‘Claudia Winkleman’
Off the pitch, Robertson is the master of team bonding. Before Scotland’s crucial World Cup qualifiers, he devised a full-scale ‘Traitors’ game for the squad, complete with blackboards and mini shields. The “chosen ones” reported to his room each night to elect who they would “kill.” Leadership with a playful twist.
