He was a Boxer & a Rugby Player as these newspaper entries show:
Hull Daily Mail - Tuesday 16 November 1926
ANDREW CARMICHAEL OUTPOINTED The concluding fight was that scheduled to go 15 rounds (2 minutes) between Andrew Carmichael, of Hull Kingston Rovers, and Percy Calladine, of Mexborough. Mr Harry Dorsey was the referee, and Mr Harry Wilson, of Cleethorpes, the timekeeper. Carmichael appeared to have slightly the weight advantage. The first two rounds were more or less meles, then in the third Carmichael, with a right swing to the chin, shook Caladine, and then appeared to push him to the floor. Calladine stayed down for eight. Both men were warned for holding. Carmichael was boxing on improved lines, and during the following few rounds landed punches to. the face with either hand. Calladine knew more about boxing, however, and was quick with his countering blows. Round nine opened with a whirlwind rush by Carmichael, but there was too much using of the head, and holding for the match to be really clean. The men stayed the distance, and Calladine was the winner on points.

HULL LOSE BATEMAN AND ANDREW CARMICHAEL. At the annual meeting of Hull Football Club last night, Mr. G. W. Miller, chairman of the directors, stated that the balance sheet showed a profit of £2,461. He paid tribute to the performance of the team in winning the Rugby League championship and the Yorkshire Rugby League Cup. York, he said, had the distinction of being the only team to beat them twice. On a third meeting which was for charity they raised the sum of £174 for the City of Hull Great War Trust. Two of their players were retiring this year. Bateman, threequarter, who would act in future as player-coach with the "A " team, and Andrew Carmichael, forward.
