Centre-forward Alan moved from Sussex amateur side Worthing to Liverpool when he was 20 years old and made a scoring debut on 5th December 1953 in a 5-2 win home victory over Blackpool.
He only played another two times that season and just 7 the following season, in which he scored 3 more goals. Undoubtedly the highlight of Alan's Liverpool career was scoring a brave hat-trick at Huddersfield after pulling a muscle early in the game during 1956.
Although he was in and out of the side during the next few years, Alan still finished with an impressive 33 goals from 69 League appearances for Liverpool before being transferred to Tranmere Rovers in February 1961.
