I liked Alun Evans, I vaguely remember he came overweight and there was a thing in the Argus about Crowe getting him into shape. Great post really enjoyed reading it
I remember he had a long scar on one side of his face. I'm sure there was a story as to how he came by it but can't remember. Someone will probably know. I always thought he was a classy player but clearly didn't figure in Ron's long term plans.

Almost seventy stitches needed inserting into the wounds and he was scarred him for life.
When my kids were little they collected autographs. My daughter badly wanted Gordon Cowans' autograph. We waited by the players' exit gate. Alun signed her Panini book but my seven year old piped up that she really wanted Gordon's signature. Alan, in a very friendly way called to Gordon and said "Hey Sid, this little girl wants your autograph". Gordon obliged but in his very mild manner said to Alun "My name is Gordon."
The glitch is because spellchecker put in the player to whom I refer as Alun Evans not Allan Evans who was definitely a team mate of Gordon Cowans.

People go to the trouble of writing in the hope that people might read it.
