Alan Biley

[Barrel of Fun]

Please could someone give me a brief run down on Alan Biley. What he did for us and what he was famous for? etc.


Your help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

BoF.

Having great hair

 

[Parson Henry]

Rod Stewart type of flouncy/spikey hairdo.

A 'ladies man'.

Shortish. Quite mobile made good runs and laid he ball off well. Cool finisher

Didn't get to play as much as I would have hoped. Cattlin seemed to prefer Mike Ferguson and Dean Saunders.

Sumwun will come up with the stats.

 

[B.M.F]

We bought him from Pompey.

 

[Normal Rob]

he's on that Panini sticker website on another thread...

 

[KPTF]

Wasn't he kicked out of there sharpish for shagging Billy Gilbert's missus?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I heard from a friend at the time that he'd been kicked out for being a little too light-fingered. This was also supposed to have resulted in an early exit from Everton. Quality player though.

I remember meeting him in a pub in Newhaven where he had digs, thoroughly decent he seemed. Once when walking along the Buckle between Seaford and Newhaven, I bumped into him, we spoke for a while and then without any warning he just legged it off in the style of Forrest Gump. Very peculiar!

 

[Chicken Run]

Always wore long sleeved shirts and would play the entire game gripping the cuffs

 

[dunno]

Wound up the Pompey fans a treat when being booed by the away support at the Goldstone - starting doing a 'wind up' motion at them - they hated it!!!

 

[dunno]

Modelled himself on Denis Law (probably a bit of Rod Stewart in there as well!)

 

[Napper]

great at penalties

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Thank you very much, one and all.

Sounds like a decent standard lothario.

 

[Icy Gull]

Always wore long sleeved shirts and would play the entire game gripping the cuffs

and after being caught offside more times than any other Rod Stewart lookalike told the Argus the reason he was always offside is that " you've got to buy a ticket to be in the lottery"

He Opened a wine bar in shoreham high street called BI BI's (the first wine bar in Shoreham) - Its now the Lazy Toad... I thank you

 

[zefarelly]

blimey, was that him . . . the lazy turd as it is now, and Fathoms in the not too distant past

it was the conservative club once upon a time I believe

 

[dunno]

A former work colleague was an Estate Agent in Haywards Heath in the mid 80's and was an avid Cambridge Utd Fan (One of Biley's former clubs) it made his day when he came into the office looking for a house. He said he had a mucking fassive gold ring with AB on it - class!!

I heard a story that the club had refused him permission to open that bar and work in it hence his rather rapid departure from us. But then again it was only a rumour, and probably without substance.
