Andrew Howe

Andrew Howe grew up in Sydney where his first sporting passion was for the Cronulla Sharks rugby league team and his academic ability was for statistics and history. He attended his first national soccer league game in 1988 and fell in love with the round ball code then and there. An inquisitive mind led to Andrew searching for more information about the history of soccer in Australia and, not satisfied with what he found, he set about developing his own record of the sport. Andrew's sporting statistics career then developed alongside his professional career as a population demographer with the Australian Bureau of Statistics in Adelaide. He has been the official honorary statistician for Football Australia since 1999; and is author of the Encyclopedia of Socceroos (2018, 2022) and the lead co-author of the Encyclopedia of Matildas (2019, 2023).
