Alan McDonald's 50th birthday. Childhood hero and an absolute QPR legend. RIP Macca. | | | |  |

One of the finest, if not the finest defender to have donned the hooped shirt of QPR. | |

I remember standing outside LR in about 1993. I think I was there just to watch the players leave. Anyway near the end Macca came out and what I remember most was his accent. Hearing a hero like that talking 20 yards away in the same way I did, miles away from home still as a fairly young lad, it just put that extra bit of glue between me and the club.
4 years ago I accidentally threw away the program he'd signed (separate occasion) - into a County Antrim skip. I try not to think about that. | | | |

Definitely the finest, by far and away my favourite ever QPR player. RIP Macca | |

Don't know about 'finest', 'greatest' or 'best' in terms of adjectives to apply to Alan McDonald with regards to his position or performances. All I know is that once upon a time, a long, long time ago, I realised that Alan McDonald epitomised everything that I considered important in a person, in a footballer or ultimately in a Man. | | | |

Wish I had read this earlier, as I was drinking with Dave Anderson, who's the Harrow Boro manager and one of Macca's best mates. We would have had a toast to him. xx | | | |

Mel, You, me, Dave and Dave Howell can all go for a drink some time. Would be a great laugh. Dave H is a good friend of mine through our lady friends (I photographed his wedding too). He drinks like woman but he knows a lot :) | | | |

Not anywhere at the moment. A happy family man but an unused talent football-wise. I took him to a Mets game once - he related everything to football to the point that I had to tell him to stop...
Grennwich Village is fine by me, would be bonkers
More likely to be Hammersmith though, all things considered [Post edited 13 Oct 2013 2:55]

Had a drink with DH a couple of years ago when we played Harrow Borough when he was manager. He didnt touch a drop the woman !! Me and Sudbury Hill drunk his share instead. | | | |

Funnily enough I messaged DH on Thursday as it was his birthday. We were firm school mates and played at various levels of football together. He was a cracking centre back. I think the first black player to represent England at any level? | | | |

Even before Laurie Cunningham ?
Howell started his professional career with Fulham in 1978, but failed to reach the first team.[1] He then moved on to various non-league clubs, including Harrow Borough (whom he helped win the 1984 Isthmian League Premier Division Championship), Hounslow Town, Hillingdon Borough and Enfield. He was also a Semi-pro international, achieving the honour of being the first black England National Game XI captain.
