Hannah steps out for Clyde

Thursday, October 22 – 1896
The demands of the business of football are about as serious as those of every day commercial life. Here we have Andrew Hannah, the old Renton, Everton, and then Liverpool back brought under the public gaze of football once more by the Clyde. In his day Hannah was the verp picture of a back, and his reputation still lives green both at Anfield and Goodison Park, Liverpool. Returning to his native “Rantin” three years ago Hannah gave a helping hand now and then to the club of his boyhood; but last season it was thought he had permanently retired from the ring of which he was such an ornament. Money, however is very powerful lover in men’s lives, and Andy trotted out all gay under the colours of Barrowfield. He played a good game against the Rangers, but he has a lot of adipose hanging about him. He looked uncomfortable now and again, but in the hands of the trainer he should even yet be able to give us a sample of his former greatness. (Dundee Courier, 22-10-1896)
