malcolm went on to become a member of the team that gained ted fenton 's west ham promotion as division 2 champions 1957 -- 58 , and in 1959 , 6th place in division one .
he was the first west ham united fc supporter 's ` hammer of the year ' in 1957 -- 58 .
described as a ` feared wing-half with an ability to close-mark and block out opponents ' , malcolm was able to ` snuff out ' the likes of johnny haynes , jimmy greaves and denis law .

in october 1958 , malcolm , along with team-mate john bond , represented the football league against the scottish league .
finding that there was no room for his style of play under ron greenwood , malcolm left hammers after 283 league appearances , one season away from qualifying for a testimonial match , to rivals chelsea in november 1962 , in return for # 10,000 and centre-forward ron tindall in part-exchange .
malcolm was named captain of chelsea but a contract dispute with tommy docherty and chelsea 's relegation to division 2 at the end of 1961 -- 62 saw andy move to division 3 queens park rangers , for # 10,000 , where he made 84 appearances under alec stock .
he moved to south africa where he played for two seasons for port elizabeth fc and then the greek port elizabeth side apollen fc .
upon his return to the uk , malcolm played for southern league brentwood town for 1967 -- 68 season .
