'''Andrew James Titterrell''' (born 10 January 1981 in [Dartford](/source/Dartford), England) is a former [rugby union](/source/rugby_union) player who played at [hooker](/source/Hooker_(rugby_union)) and previously for [England](/source/England_national_rugby_union_team).
Titterrell was educated at the [Hugh Christie Technology College](/source/Hugh_Christie_Technology_College) in [Tonbridge](/source/Tonbridge) and [Sevenoaks School](/source/Sevenoaks_School) and started playing rugby union at the age of seven at Sevenoaks which also nurtured England [prop](/source/Prop_(rugby_union)) [David Flatman](/source/David_Flatman) and [Sevens](/source/Rugby_sevens) specialist [Tony Roques](/source/Tony_Roques).
After learning the game in [Kent](/source/Kent), he had spells with [Saracens](/source/Saracens_F.C.) and [Waterloo](/source/Waterloo_R.F.C.) before joining [Sale Sharks](/source/Sale_Sharks) in 2001. His first game for [Sale](/source/Sale_Sharks) was against [French](/source/France) club Auch in 2001. Capped by England at schoolboy and U21 level, he was first capped for [England A](/source/England_Saxons) against [Ireland A](/source/Ireland_Wolfhounds) in 2002. He caught the eye of [Clive Woodward](/source/Clive_Woodward) with a dynamic display on his first start for England A against [Scotland](/source/Scotland_A_national_rugby_union_team) A in March 2002. He gained his second A cap against [Italy A](/source/Italy_A_national_rugby_union_team) in 2003 and was involved in the [Churchill Cup](/source/Churchill_Cup) success in Canada. He won a place in the England Elite Player Squad for 2003. He was considered an outside chance for Woodward's [2003 Rugby World Cup](/source/2003_Rugby_World_Cup) squad but was ultimately left out.[{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/international/3084399.stm|title=Woodward eyes World Cup options|date=22 July 2003|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|access-date=11 November 2015}}]

He added another when coming on as a replacement against [Canada](/source/Canada_national_rugby_union_team) in November 2004.
In 2005 Titterrell was a surprise selection for the [British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand](/source/2005_British_%26_Irish_Lions_tour_to_New_Zealand) ahead of more experienced players.
In the [2005–06 Guinness Premiership](/source/2005%E2%80%9306_Guinness_Premiership), Titterrell played every game for [Sale Sharks](/source/Sale_Sharks) and was a key catalyst for the team's Final victory in May.[{{cite news
