I played football regularly at Platt lane in the 90s. Loved going not only for the football but also to stare in amazement at Alex’s Imperial Blue Escort Cosworth.

Club has to do something to commemorate such a stalwart. Would have met him outside Maine Road very early 90s, probably pre Premier League and likely as he was starting out his superb community work and he was a gent to 2 kids who didn't know him from Adam.

Eike Immel and Martyn Margetson raise their glass!

I think Eike went to raise his glass...... but sadly dropped it :-)

A proper club legend

Club has said that there will be a tribute to Alex in the summer.

A mosaic on a community field would be fitting. Or, rebrand Puma's Goalkeeper glove range in his honour.

Enjoy your retirement, Alex. One of the good guys, a City legend.

You'd have to go a long way to find a more truer gent,met Alex a few times,and always had time to talk and be the most friendliest guy you could wish to meet.

I'll never forget the Luton game though,as I told him on the few occasions I've met him ..................................

Enjoy your retirement Alex,and hope still to bump into you around the ground on match day over the coming years

Enjoy your well earned retirement Alex.
One of football's good guys and a true gent
