Gareth Andrews
Gareth Andrews (born 21 December 1946) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Geelong and Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL), now the Australian Football League (AFL). Andrews attended Geelong College; and, as a schoolboy, he had a strong mark but awkward kicking style. He had a good debut season at the Cats, kicking the winning goal in his first game and topping their goal-kicking for the year with 35 goals. He spent most of the season at full-forward due to an injury to Doug Wade and it would be the only time from 1961 to 1972 that someone other than Wade topped Geelong's goal-kicking. When Wade returned, Andrews was shifted to centre half-forward, moving to ruck-rover and then centre half-back later in his career.

Victorian Football League
The Victorian Football League (VFL) is an Australian rules football league in Australia serving as one of the second-tier regional semi-professional competitions which sit underneath the fully professional Australian Football League (AFL). It includes teams from clubs based in the eastern states of Australia: Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, and includes reserves teams for the east coast AFL clubs. The league evolved from the former Victorian Football Association (VFA), and it has been known by its current name since 1996. For historical purposes, the present-day VFL is referred to as the VFA/VFL, to distinguish it from the present-day Australian Football League, which in turn was known until 1990 as the Victorian Football League and is thus referred to as the VFL/AFL. The VFA was formed in 1877 and is the second-oldest Australian rules football league, replacing the loose affiliation of clubs that had been the hallmark of the early years of the game.
