Alan Frederick Fletcher was born in Pendleton on 28th October 1917. An inside forward he signed for Blackpool in January 1937 but failed to make their Football League side. He then moved to Bournemouth where he made 12 appearances in the 1938-39 season. He joined Bristol Rovers in 1939 but the War intervened and following the cessation of hostilities he signed for Crewe Alexandra in September 1947. He made just one first team appearance for Crewe early in the 1947-48 season before joining Mossley as player-coach under Len Butt. He made 54 appearances for Mossley that season scoring 3 goals before taking up a coaching post with Sligo Rovers in Ireland. Fletcher returned to Mossley as Player-Manager for the 1950-51 season and made 43 appearances scoring one goal but it was a poor season for the Lilywhites and they finished just three places from the bottom of the Cheshire League and also went down to a shock defeat in the Manchester Challenge Shield Final losing 2-1 to Lancashire Steel. Alan Fletcher passed away in Leigh in 1984 aged 67.
