Andy Petterson

Petterson began his career in his native Australia, leaving East Fremantle Tricolore in 1988 to join the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra. In November 1988 he left Australia to join English side Luton Town. He spent time with Swindon Town and Ipswich Town, where he became the first Western Australian-born player to appear in the newly formed Premier League in a 2–1 win over Nottingham Forest before joining Charlton Athletic in July 1994 for a fee of £85,000. He was third-choice keeper for most of the 1994–95 and 1995–96 seasons, behind Mike Salmon and American Mike Ammann, spending time on loan with Bradford City, Ipswich Town, Plymouth Argyle and Colchester United. However, with both Salmon and Ammann injured towards the end of the 1995–96 season, Petterson played well enough in the final nine games, conceding only five goals and helping the club to the play off Semi Finals, to earn a new contract. He began the following season as Salmon's deputy, but after his return to the side in January 1997 became first choice, winning the club's player of the year award at the end of the season. The start of the 1997–98 season saw Petterson as Charlton's first choice keeper, but after 26 appearances lost his place to first Salmon and then Sasa Ilic as Charlton Athletic gained promotion to the Premier League via a Wembley play-off final win over Sunderland. Petterson started the 1998-99 Premier League season for Charlton Athletic as deputy to Ilic and made his first appearance…
