Alan Smith RIP

[philmus]

Our former physio, who left to work at Sheffield Wednesday, has died.
Always remember he was the fastest physio in the business, he used to sprint on the pitch like Usain Bolt.
RIP Alan.

Yes, it was odd that looking back, you could go and get treatment from him for free. He did some work on my knee when I was a youngster. Nice fella.

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

Such were the struggles of the BFC team back then, he possibly brought some of the most pride we had about the club especially when he went on to be part of the England set up.
