Allan Young

Allan Young

Allan Robert Young (born January 20, 1941 in Edmonton, London) is a former professional footballer, playing mainly as a central defender.

He began his career as a junior with Arsenal, turning professional in April 1959. His league debut came on December 26 1960, a 1-1 draw at Highbury against Sheffield Wednesday, with Allan taking the place of the regular number five, John Snedden. Between 21 January and 11 February 1961, Allan played a further three league games consecutively; a 4-2 defeat at White Hart Lane against bitter rivals (and eventual Double winners) Tottenham Hotspur, a 3-3 draw at St James' Park against Newcastle United and a 3-2 defeat at Highbury against Cardiff City.

After being in a team that conceded ten goals in three games, Allan never played for Arsenal again, and joined Chelsea in November 1961 for a fee of £6,000. He remained at Stamford Bridge for over 7 years, but played in only 20 league games, never scoring, though he did play in their League Cup final win over Leicester City in 1965. In January 1969, he finally left the Bridge, joining Torquay United for a fee of £8,000. After 60 league games (one goal) for Torquay he left the professional game.
