You could never forgot Big Al once you met him, he would always lighten the room up & have everyone in stitches laughing. Everyone has their share of hilarious stories with him. A great man who I feel lucky to have known for so long & was lucky to share so many great moments with.

Rip Big Al, a great friend, father & husband.

Struggling for my words
Known the Big Al for 30 + yrs
A giant of a personality, a truly lovely, loyal and very funny person, he will be missed by all. Our love to Lesley, Alan Steph and everybody
Why take the beautiful, Why, why, why
Great memories of football at the Hawthorns and at Anfield, I sadly missed
a trip in 2019 due to illness, with both Al’s to my very special club lunch in London (St George’s Day Club)
Al we will miss you….Rest in peace
