Great Lakes Outreach
About this episode

Alan played football with some of the world’s all-time greats, including Pele, Cruyff and Best. Captaining Luton in England’s top division, he was at the peak of his game when he visited his in-laws in New Zealand, not realising quite how his life was about to change. It’s a great story!
