He was nicknamed "Bruno" by Chesterfield fans for an alleged resemblance to the Britishboxer, Frank Bruno.[3]
He is most fondly remembered at Saltergate, where urban legend states he arrived from Rotherham for a fee of £500 and a bag of footballs. In the 1996–97 season, Morris was part of Chesterfield's historic FA Cup semi finalists – scoring the first goal in the semi-final at Old Trafford against Middlesbrough, and winning a penalty for the second.
The following season, Andy Morris was granted a testimonial match versus Nottingham Forest. Due to persistent injury problems, he left Saltergate shortly after and negotiated a contract with Rochdale.[3]
Morris ended his time as a player at Hucknall Town but returned to Chesterfield in 2000 in order to become the club's Football in the Community Manager, and this is a position he still occupies.[4]
