<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13pt"><SPAN style="COLOR: red">The Christmas Interview: Marvin Andrews
By: The Independent</SPAN></SPAN>
25 Dec 2006
Not all footballers are driven mainly by money and have no interest in moral issues. Marvin Andrews is the preacher man whose faith told him to spurn the Premiership and join lowly Raith. He delivers his fire-and-brimstone Christmas message to Nick Harris
He returned to Ibrox, only to be released by Paul Le Guen. He harbours no bitterness, although asked what the struggling Le Guen, whose defence has been frail at times, might now think, he chuckles. "I don't know what's going through Paul Le Guen's mind at this particular time. I think he's a good man, been honest, I respect him for that, telling me I'm not part of his plans."
So to an uncertain future, of sorts, because Reading and other clubs wanted to sign him. George Burley, the manager of Southampton, was also interested. Large contracts, perhaps worth seven figures in total, were up for up grabs. Andrews said: "It took probably two months' praying and asking God for directions. And God told me he wanted me to be at Raith Rovers. I don't know the reason. I'm just being obedient."
The Chancellor, Gordon Brown, also had a role to play, but not as great as the Almighty.
But did Andrews not think that God offered such a chance - playing in the Premiership - as a sign? Andrews again: "For myself alone, I would probably be at Reading. The Premiership is where any footballer would desire to play. But at this particular time God wants me in Kirkcaldy. He has a plan here, a purpose for me.
"I can disobey God and be the unhappiest player in the world. But life is about happiness. Many people today, multimillionaires, but they're not happy. Once I'm where God says I'm not supposed to be, only disaster and destruction can befall me."
He refuses to rule out that God could tell him, at any time, even in January, to move on. Eventually he sees a future in the church. "It's my desire to go back and play at the highest level. If I'm praying tonight and God tells me, 'I want you to leave Raith, I want you to go somewhere else', that will happen. But my life is to preach the gospel."
End of lesson.
More God than Gordon Brown: Why Andrews is now at Raith
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, a Raith Rovers fan, played a key role in Marvin Andrews' shock signing for the club in early October. But the player himself insists that he remains less Gord's footballer, more God's.
Gordon Brown got involved not only as a supporter, but as the local MP and an associate of businessmen involved in a community takeover of Raith a year ago. He was told in September by Raith's chairman, David Sinton (who has since left) that the club's then manager, Craig Levein (now at Dundee United) was interested in approaching Andrews, at least with a stopgap contract while Andrews weighed up his post-Rangers options.
But Brown felt there might be a longer-term plan, combining Andrews' defensive role with work on local youth initiatives. Brown made a personal visit to see Andrews at his church on Friday 29 September, and met him again on 1 October.
Brown also helped secure £140,000 underwriting for a £900-a-week, three-year deal for Andrews, which is huge by Raith standards but less than a tenth of what he could have earned elsewhere. Andrews was later guest of honour at a private party at Brown's Fife home.
Yet Andrews insists God had the final say. "I'd seen Gordon Brown on TV, being lined up as Britain's next Prime Minister, and it was great he came to the church to see me, he's been a Raith fan since he was a little boy," he said. "But without God's guidance, it wouldn't have mattered what Gordon said. It would have been in one ear and out the other. I told Gordon, 'I'm going to talk to God, because I only listen to one

RE: Jamaican On Trial with IFK
I was just talking in general seeing that most trinidadian national players turn down Barcelona and Arsenal and head straight to the Scottish second division... I had no idea yourbest defender was in the Scottish lower leagues too. PoorMarvin,he probably didn't want anyone to find out - things like that you dont repeat Chatterbox! You just kill the man reputation on this board worse than Nandi ever did.SA 2010: Reggae Boyz coming home!
