Andrew Naylor in Series 49...
...and 11 years later in Series 70.

Andrew "Andy" Naylor was a contestant in Series 49, and an octochamp in and the runner-up of Series 70. He became one of the few non-Apterites that reached a series final, since Apterous was founded.

After a very close defeat in his first appearance, Naylor began his second run with a victory over Apterite (and future Series 92 octochamp) Brett Davids and scored four centuries to rack up 781 points. After defeating Bobby Banerjee in the quarter-final, he faced and defeated Samir Pilica in the semi-final with thanks to a six small numbers game in Round 14. In the grand final, Naylor fell eighteen points behind after Murray spotted ELONGATES and was then unable to keep up. He made a brief comeback in the third half, but ultimately lost by 105 – 70.

For reasons unknown, Naylor was not invited to Championship of Champions XIV with Murray and Pilica being chosen as two of the sixteen participants from their series.
