Andrew Brown Raisbeck (10 April 1881 – 23 October 1958) was a Scottish professional footballer of the early 1900s who played for clubs including Hibernian and Hull City.
Born in Slamannan (then in Stirlingshire) but raised in a mining community near Cambuslang in South Lanarkshire, [3] [4] Raisback began his football career as a teenager with Larkhall Thistle, alongside elder brothers Bill (later of Clyde, Sunderland and Falkirk) and Alex (later captain of Liverpool, Partick Thistle and Scotland). [5]
In 1900 he followed the route into the professional level taken by Alex and joined Hibernian, making 11 Scottish Football League appearances for the side which finished 3rd in the table. [6] The following year he joined Dundee but did not make a league appearance, spending the end of the campaign with Queens Park Rangers in England. [2] Ultimately, however, he next signed for Liverpool where his brother Alex was already an established player. He spent two years with the Anfield club but never appeared for the first team. [2]
In 1904, he transferred to the newly formed Hull City. [7] [8] They did not play in official competitions in their first year, but their many friendlies included a home meeting with Liverpool which the visitors won 6–2. [9] Over the next two campaigns in the Football League Second Division, Raisbeck made 47 league appearances and scored 5 goals, including one in a 4–0 victory over West Bromwich Albion. [10]
In 1907, Raisbeck decided to leave Hull City and emigrate to a new life in Canada, [11] accompanied by many of his family members including his footballing brother Bill. [2] [12] He died in 1958 in British Columbia. [1]
In addition to the three brothers, their cousin Luke Raisbeck was also a footballer who played for several clubs including West Ham United and Blackpool. [13] [14]
