Alan Fettis

Alan Fettis was born in Newtownards, County Down, on 1 February 1971, the quiet starting point for a career that would span nearly two decades across British football. That small coastal town gave him the foundation for a life spent guarding goals, from Glentoran to Hull City and York City, where his saves became legend among fans. The birthplace remains ordinary on the surface, but it holds the origin of a man whose hands and instincts shaped many a match long after he left Northern Ireland behind.
