050 (11)Julian Alsop (born
May 28 ,1973 ,Nuneaton ) is an English professional footballer. A tall, strong striker, Alsop first came to prominence with Bristol Rovers before joining Swansea City in 1998 for £30,000 immediately following a loan deal.He signed for Cheltenham Town from Swansea and was less than prolific in his first season, but his 2nd year with the club proved to be a revelation. His partnership with Tony Naylor led to Alsop scoring 26 goals, including the second goal as Cheltenham beat Rushden and Diamonds 3-1 in the Division 3 play-off final. His third and final season with the club was beset by injuries and he left Cheltenham for Oxford United at the end of 2002-03.
Alsop was sacked by Oxford after an incident involving a youth team player and a banana, and was banned from football for 6 months. [cite web
