Bio

It did not take him long to join a football team, and he spent half a season with Pathfinders before joining Langley Minors.

He went on to play for Langley in the District League, and became captain of the side, playing mostly at inside-forward, his favourite position.
Alan has played at inside-left, outside-right inside-right, and on the left wing on his few appearances for the first team

Despite this he has won county honours, playing twice for the Berks and Bucks Junior side in the Southern Counties Cup both times as centre-forward
