I remember Alan well he used to stand behind my goal when as a 17 year old I played in goal in the then Wednesday league .
Alan at the time played for the City Colts he suggested I could play for the Colts as they needed another keeper . Eventually I did
play for the colts in a game we won 10-1 their goal being a deflection from Alan sending me the wrong way . I remember him being a nice lad and glad he made it in the game .
