Biley, Alan One of the best players of the 80s at Fratton Park. Father Xmas ran on the pitch 1-0 down to Oxford, ref added time on and Biley scored 2 injury time goals to win the match. Just quality we could do with now! Alan Biley was one of my fav players. Thank you Alan for your services to Portsmouth FC. I was gutted when you left to sign for Brighton

Biley, Alan Iconic player in my eyes for Pompey. We have conversations about him every season and without fail ahead of a Pompey v Oxford game. What a game, the pitch was bog like but all the fans were full of sunshine as Biley won the game for the blues. When aired on the TV the commentator said ‘there’s no way they will let him go now’ but I don’t think he ever played at Fratton again. Love it when he turns up to the legends games

Biley, Alan I was playing for a village team called Dagnall against Stanbridge and Tilsworth in the early 70s and had the pleasure of marking him in the game. I was approached after the game by a scout/coach who told me Luton were looking at him and I had played very well. He went on to have a successful career and I carried on playing village football.

Biley, Alan He was a great player for Pompey. I remember him and Mark Hateley both playing up front for Pompey they where a great pairing and scoring a lot of goals together.

Biley, Alan I watched Alan as a young lad every week when he played for Cambridge United. Have fantastic memories of the games and excitement they generated. I was then lucky enough to meet him and most of the team one Sunday. Alan and the team came to My father in laws pub (The White Lion in Sawston) for a few beers and a darts and pool session. Happy times. One thing I have always wanted to know is ... How actually did Gordon McQueen foul him when he was playing for Derby v Man Utd ? I watched the game again today on the big match revisited and I still have no idea what happened. Anyone help me out ??

Biley, Alan You can always tell how good a player is from the level of vitriol dished out by the opposition fans. It may also have had something to do with that hairstyle though.

Biley, Alan I was a former apprentice at Luton Town in 1970. Together with another apprentice, Nick Sparks, we used to coach boys from nearby schools. We came across a young, whippet-like kid called Alan Biley and recommended him to Harry Haslam, the then Luton Town chief scout, later to be manager. Biley clearly had some talent. Harry took an interest and passed him onto the charge of, the now infamous, Bob Higgins, whom Harry had coaching and scouting links with at the time. Higgins did some work for Luton regarding youth development before he moved on to Southampton. Biley went on to greater things which we did not foresee at the time. Strange how the footballing Gods work!

Biley, Alan Spent many happy hours down the Harvest Home Pub with Alan when he lived in Denmead. Out in his Toyota Supra, listening to music, he was a lot of fun and a really nice bloke. A great Pompey player.

Biley, Alan Remember Alan scoring a brace on his debut for Everton against Birmingham City in 1981.. We were in need of a hero at that time, and I had great hopes for him.. Sadly, didn't quite happen for him at Goodison Park, but a good value striker at his level in his career.
