Here's some info A Symonds Mr englfc.. Whay's the fc stand for? I bet I have a different opinion.
Early life One of Symonds' biological parents was of West Indian background.[4] Symonds' adoptive parents Ken and Barbara moved to Australia shortly after his adoption, when he was three months old.[5] He has two non-adopted siblings. He spent the early part of his childhood in Charters Towers, northern Queensland, where his father Ken taught at the private fee paying All Souls St Gabriels School, which Andrew attended.[6] He showed sporting prowess from a very early age. "Dad was cricket mad. He’d throw balls to me five or six days a week, before school, after school. And we’d play all sorts of games inside the house with ping-pong balls and Christmas decorations."[7] Much of his junior cricket was played in Townsville for the Wanderers club, father and son making the 270-kilometre return trip sometimes twice a week.[5] The family later moved to the Gold Coast, where his parents were on the staff of All Saints Anglican School in Merrimac. Symonds was a student at the school.[8]
