In the mid-1950s, McAndrew studied and graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin.
After emigrating to England in 1961, McAndrew led John Mitchel's Gaelic football team in Birmingham to several Warwickshire Senior Championships.[citation needed]
McAndrew's first medical practice in England was in the rural Shropshire town of Madeley (close to Ironbridge), where he joined the practice of Dr. McGabhann. McAndrew became involved in the local community and attended St. Mary's Catholic Church in Madeley, Shropshire.[citation needed] After a short period there, he saw an opportunity to take over a practice in the Sandwell town of Old Hill, near Cradley Heath. It was here, and for over 40 years, that McAndrew ran a his own practice.[citation needed]
Taking up the hobby of greyhound racing, both at NGRC and independent tracks,[citation needed] McAndrew gained a reputation for his astuteness in selecting young dogs from Ireland.[citation needed] Amongst the accolades he collected were the Birmingham Cup, ran at the old Perry Barr Greyhound Stadium, and the Welsh and Bolton St Legers.[citation needed]
McAndrew married Bridget Catherine Corr on 11 April 1971 and had a son in December 1973. His wife died on 23 May 2006.[citation needed]
