Cyril Bruce Andrew MBE (28 February 1908 – 6 June 1996) was an Australian rules footballer, who played for Collingwood Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) before becoming a football administrator and television commentator.
He was famous for his immaculate hairstyle, with its signature centre-parting: "[his] hair was parted so emphatically down the centre that it was claimed he used a theodolite."[1]
His services to the VFL were honoured by the awarding of VFL life membership, and his subsequent induction into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
