Had the reputation of being a bit bonkers, but my recollection of Alan is of a real tough forward whom you would much rather have with you than against you.
Sad to hear that he has passed away.Straight running,never took a backward step,forward.Saw all his games for Northern and o how we could do with someone of his ilk right now.
It appears he suffered badly from arthritis due to professional rugby injuries taking their toll on his body. Some arthritis drugs do play havoc with vital organs, so it could be that.
