Played Alan in an exhibition in 1980. He slaughtered me of course. But such a privilege to have played on of my heroes. Smashing bloke he was.

I remember him losing an epic final to Bill Lennard in the 1976 Ladbrokes Matchplay.
Fun fact: the accompanying Halex Open played at the same time and place was won by a young unknown called Eric Bristow.

Great knowledge - thanks for sharing with us!

Alan Glazier was a talent. Aggressive style thrower though. (you could hear the 'Thud' on board when his throws hit it) But Left-Handers' are often like that, even now. Rest In Peace our Alan. RIP Eric and Jocky too.

Thanks for the message. Alan sure was a legend of the game.

Alan played for the Lancashire County side in the late 90's/early 00's he was a lovely bloke and still had it even at that stage. it was a joy to watch him in those days when he was enjoying his darts, Daryl Fitton was in the same side, awesome county side!
