If I’d known what Hughes would do to us in future, I’d have enjoyed Macca beating the shyte out of him even more. For one “Football’s toughest strikers”, he spent a lot of those games rolling around holding his head. |
He was a cheating bastid alright.
Twice feigned a head injury v Macca, once v Maddix and once v Montpelier. |  |

I can tell you, NI fans loved Big Al as much as QPR fans, for all the same reasons (obv).
I also saw his older brother Roy play in goal for Crusaders a few times in the late 70's. Excellent gk who could have made it in England, I reckon - got a trial at Birmingham but nothing came of it.
Anyhow, Roy is still at the Crues, where he's every bit the same legend as Alan is at QPR.
This interview gives some more anecdotes, and proves just what a good family Alan came from:
