Alex is retiring in August after 33 years at City. Nice article in the MEN about him. Wishing him all the best in his retirement. An absolute gentleman.

Said my bit on the previous page about Alex, but what an incredible servant he has been to both the club and the community, and to know he inspired so many people.

Hope he has a fantastic and very long retirement, he’s earned it.

I’ve been fortunate enough to meet Alex twice, the first time we were both on a speed awareness course in Carrington , the second at a home game a couple of years ago when I was enjoying hospitality with my son. On both occasions he was happy to chat and was a perfect gentleman. Enjoy your retirement Alex but keep an eye on the speedo

Went same school as me, and was in same class as my older sister.
She remembers him as a very nice and polite lad who turned into a great role model for a lot of youngsters.

Enjoy your retirement Alex, you deserve it...

I'm sorry he's retiring in the sense that he's a lifelong Blue, who's steeped in the club and fully understands what it's about. Frankly, the more such people we have in and around the club as it expands globally, the better, and the loss of one is a blow.

But how can we begrudge him the opportunity to enjoy a well-earned retirement after the service he's given? He was a fine player for us, and might have achieved much more had his career not been regrettably cut short. Since he stopped playing, he's worked magnificently, embodying everything we should want our club to be about.

Thanks for everything, Alex. Don't be a stranger, but make sure you enjoy all the opportunities that retirement will offer you.

Good luck with your retirement. You can tell I've always been a big fan !!

A great man and anyone that went to Wilbraham High will do for me !

Will never forget the shit he faced at Leeds, Pompey and West Ham.
Especially West Ham. We lost 4-1 and had Hartford and Bond sent off and the game was simply target practice for the Hammers.
Having saved a penalty and kept the score down to four, Alex received a standing ovation from the Hammers fans, many who had been seig hailing and monkey chanting earlier in the game.

Good luck in your retirement Alex, truly deserved and hope City give him a great send off and that he continues to be a club embasador on match days
