'''Andy Welsh''' (born [[November 24]], [[1983]] in [[Manchester]], [[England]]) is a [[football]] left winger who has signed on to play for [[Canadian]] [[Major League Soccer|MLS]] Club, [[Toronto FC]] in the [[2007]] season. |
|||
Welsh signed for the Black Cats from [[Stockport County F.C.|Stockport County]] in November 2004 after impressing in a three-day trial with the club. Sunderland paid an initial fee of £15,000 for his services, though this fee could rise up to £35,000 depending on appearances. |
|||
'''''Young Americans''''' was an American television drama on [[The WB]] network created by [[Steven Antin]]. The show debuted in [[2000]] as a summer replacement for, and [[spinoff]] from, another [[Columbia TriStar Television]] production; ''[[Dawson's Creek]]''. Its lead was introduced in three episodes at the end of that series's third season. ''Young Americans'' occupied ''Dawson's Creek'''s timeslot of Wednesdays at 8 P.M. when that show went on hiatus in the summer of [[2000]]. Repeats were shown at 8 P.M. on Fridays. |
|||
Welsh made his debut for Stockport in October 2001, going on to make 85 appearances in his three years at the club. Upon signing for Sunderland he was allocated the vacant number 11 shirt, and made his debut in the 3-2 defeat to [[Preston North End F.C.|Preston North End]] on [[January 1|New Years Day]] in 2005, replacing [[Marcus Stewart]] in the 68th minute. |
|||
Forbidden love, [[morality]] and [[social class]]es are examples of themes explored. |
|||
Welsh made his first start for Sunderland a week later on [[January 8]] [[2005]], scoring a free kick in a 2-1 victory against [[Crystal Palace F.C.|Crystal Palace]]. Welsh went on to make 8 appearances that season, scoring again against [[Queens Park Rangers F.C.|QPR]] at [[Loftus Road]] on [[April 2]]. |

The show is set in the town of New Rawley at a tiny [[boarding school]], Rawley Academy. The lead character is Will Krudski ([[Rodney Scott]]), a poor but brilliant young man who cheated on the entrance exam to ensure his admission. Scout Calhoun ([[Mark Famiglietti]]) is Will's roommate and friend. Bella Banks ([[Kate Bosworth]]) is Will's childhood friend, a pretty townie torn between Scout and fellow New Rawleyian, Sean. Jaqueline "Jake" Pratt ([[Katherine Moennig]]), a discontent young woman who masquerades as a boy, and Hamilton Fleming ([[Ian Somerhalder]]), the son of the deanstudent at the school. Hamilton finds himself confused by his attraction to "Jake". |

Welsh retained the number 11 shirt the following season, starting the season for the first team in place of injured defender [[George McCartney]]. However, Welsh was controversially sent off in only the second game of the season against [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] at [[Anfield]] on [[August 20]] [[2005]], although the decision was later overturned on appeal. |

Andy Welsh (born November 24, 1983 in Manchester, England) is a football left winger who has signed on to play for Canadian MLS Club, Toronto FC in the 2007 season.
Welsh signed for the Black Cats from Stockport County in November 2004 after impressing in a three-day trial with the club. Sunderland paid an initial fee of £15,000 for his services, though this fee could rise up to £35,000 depending on appearances.
Welsh made his debut for Stockport in October 2001, going on to make 85 appearances in his three years at the club. Upon signing for Sunderland he was allocated the vacant number 11 shirt, and made his debut in the 3-2 defeat to Preston North End on New Years Day in 2005, replacing Marcus Stewart in the 68th minute.
Welsh made his first start for Sunderland a week later on January 8 2005, scoring a free kick in a 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace. Welsh went on to make 8 appearances that season, scoring again against QPR at Loftus Road on April 2.
Welsh retained the number 11 shirt the following season, starting the season for the first team in place of injured defender George McCartney. However, Welsh was controversially sent off in only the second game of the season against Liverpool at Anfield on August 20 2005, although the decision was later overturned on appeal.
Welsh found himself out of the Sunderland team after Christmas, and many thought he had played his last game for the club after he was loaned to Football League Championship club Leicester on March 1 2006. Welsh went on to make 10 appearances for the Foxes, scoring 1 goal.
Four days after playing his last game for Leicester, Welsh was back at Sunderland, playing in the clubs last two games against Fulham and Aston Villa under new caretaker manager Kevin Ball. Following the transfer of popular midfielder Julio Arca to Middlesbrough in the summer, Welsh was expected to start the season as first choice winger, however, new chairman/manager Niall Quinn decided to strip Welsh of his regular number 11 shirt, instead allocating him the number 17 jersey.
