He netted in his final three appearances for the club and, despite not playing again for them after the end of November in 1985-86, remained top marksman for that season. King played 30 games for Wolves from early 1985 to late 1986 and his status as one of the key elements of a struggling side is underlined by the fact that he scored ten goals, including a brace at home to Bristol Rovers. He died of a heart attack at home, having also recently worked as assistant manager to Aidy Boothroyd at Northampton and in the backroom at Colchester beneath Boothroyd and ex-Wolves assistant John Ward. The Luton-born player had still been working in the game as a scout at newly-promoted Milton Keynes Dons. We at Wolves Heroes were saddened to hear today of the death of 1980s Molineux midfielder Andy King at the age of only 58. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.Tribute To 1980s Midfielder Andy King….popular figure in his Molineux stay. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.

Several months after the battle, Lincoln was asked to deliver a message at the dedication of the Gettysburg Civil War Cemetery on November 19, 1863.
