Alan Birchenall

Alan Birchenall Date of Birth: Aug 22, 1945

Much travelled midfielder Alan came to Luton in the twilight of his career, brought in by rookie manager David Pleat for his experience, as the Hatters fought against the drop to Division Three in 1979.

Alan calmed things down during his ten games at Kenilworth Road and, with his job done, moved on to Hereford, his last League club.

Starting with Sheffield United and then on to Chelsea and Crystal Palace, Alan probably enjoyed his greatest success at Leicester where his cultured left foot helped make the Foxes one of the most attractive sides of the mid-1970’s.

Alan is still involved at the Leicester City in his role as on-pitch announcer.
