Alan Steen

Alan made a scoring debut for Wolves as a 16 year old in 1939 and was looked on as one for the future but the outbreak of war obviously halted his progress.

Reported as missing during the war after a bombing raid over Germany in 1943, it subsequently transpired that he had been captured and spent the rest of the hostilities as a POW.

A speedy winger, Alan signed for Luton in exchange for a ‘four figure fee’ in 1946 and played ten of the first eleven games of 1946/47 on the wing for the Hatters before losing his place to new signing Dally Duncan.

Alan later went on to give good service to Aldershot, Rochdale and Carlisle and lived on the Wirral in retirement until passing away in 2012.
