Renton Born in
Renton,
Dunbartonshire, to Irish parents, Hannah first played for
Renton, where he was part of a side that won the
Scottish Cup twice and were then crowned
unofficial champions of the world after defeating English cup holders,
West Bromwich Albion in 1888. Hannah so impressed his opponents that they signed him in time for the first ever Football League season but he was unable to settle at
Stoney Lane and returned to his hometown club for a second spell before being enticed south again in time for the second Football League season.
Liverpool In 1892, following Everton's departure from
Anfield and the formation of a new club,
Liverpool, to replace them, Hannah was lured back to
Merseyside by the new club's manager,
John McKenna and treasurer
William Barclay, the latter having been his manager in his Everton days. Hannah was the right back in Liverpool's first ever competitive fixture, an 8–0 victory against Higher Walton on the 3 September 1892 in the
Lancashire League, which the
Reds went on to win convincingly. Andrew then had the honour of becoming one of the 11 players that played in Liverpool's first
Football League fixture the following season a 2–0 win over
Middlesbrough Ironopolis at the Paradise Field on 2 September 1893; he went on to play in 24 of the 28 matches which saw Liverpool win the
Football League Second Division. He also became the first person to captain both Liverpool and Everton. ==Honours==
