Alan will be sadly missed by all Fleet supporters.
I knew Alan over many years from The Village Hotel in Maidstone to chatting at every home game where he would come and find me to discuss the previous game and that days game. Alan was always so up beat with anything to do with the Fleet.
I will sadly miss our chats and his infectious smile.
My love and best wishes to his family and friends. Ian

Donation from Dave Jack, Steve Seath, John Woods and Andy Roberts. Alan will be greatly missed by us all. He was an absolute font of knowledge regarding non league football and match days at the mighty Fleet will never be the same without him.
