William Alfred Andrew "Andie" Newton (born 1896; date of death unknown) was an English footballer who played at left-half for Newton Heath, Manchester City, Port Vale, and numerous other non-league clubs.

Playing career

Newton played for Romiley St. Chad's, Park Albion, Marple Amateurs, Newton Heath, and Hyde United. He played two league games for Manchester City in 1919. He guested for Burnley and then Port Vale in April 1919, before joining the latter club permanently. In October 1919, Port Vale were re-elected from the Central League to the Football League. Newton and Tom Holford battled for the position on the left of midfield, but by February 1920, Holford had established himself as the club's preferred left-half. Newton featured in 14 Second Division games in 1919–20. He later played for Southend United, Accrington Stanley, Hurst, Ashton National, Romiley, Marple, and Congleton Town.
