'''Andrew James Toman''' (born 7 March 1962) is an English former [footballer](/source/association_football) who played as a [midfielder](/source/midfielder).

==Playing career==
Toman started his career in the [Northern League](/source/Northern_Football_League) with [Shildon](/source/Shildon_F.C.), before joining [Bishop Auckland](/source/Bishop_Auckland_F.C.). In the summer of 1985, Toman was offered his first taste of league football when [Lincoln City](/source/Lincoln_City_F.C.) paid £10,000 to secure his services. After a season with Lincoln, Toman returned to Bishop Auckland. In January 1987, [Hartlepool United](/source/Hartlepool_United_F.C.) offered Toman a second chance at league football, paying Bishop Auckland £6,000 for him.

In the summer of 1989, a £40,000 fee saw him link up with [Brian Little](/source/Brian_Little_(footballer))'s [Darlington](/source/Darlington_F.C.) for their successful campaign in the [Football Conference](/source/Football_Conference). He remained at [Feethams](/source/Feethams) for a further three seasons, joining [Scarborough](/source/Scarborough_F.C.) on loan at the end of the 1992–1993 season, before being released in the summer of 1993.

He joined [Scunthorpe United](/source/Scunthorpe_United_F.C.) for the 1993–1994 season, but despite scoring 5 goals in 15 league appearances, he moved on to join [Scarborough](/source/Scarborough_F.C.), this time on a permanent basis. He remained at Scarborough until the summer of 1996, which marked the end of his league career after 317 league appearances and 50 league goals.

He linked up with [Whitby Town](/source/Whitby_Town_F.C.), scoring in their 3–0 [FA Vase](/source/FA_Vase) final victory over [North Ferriby United](/source/North_Ferriby_United_F.C.) at [Wembley Stadium](/source/Wembley_Stadium) on 10 May 1997. After three seasons at Whitby, he had a short spell at [Blyth Spartans](/source/Blyth_Spartans_F.C.), leaving after being sent off for dissent towards his own goalkeeper in the 5–3 defeat to [Leigh RMI](/source/Leigh_RMI_F.C.) in the [FA Cup](/source/FA_Cup) on 18 September 1999. He joined [Barrow](/source/Barrow_F.C.), where he remained until the end of the season.

In December 2014, Andy joined West Auckland Town as interim manager until the end of the season.
