Alan Dodd was pure class. Should have been capped for England.

I used to get free tickets & lifts off him when i was a kid via my best mates dad being pals with him.
The best bit was we had to wait for our lift back in the players lounge. Got to meet many legends in there thanks to Doddy. Top top man.

A very good player.
Remember him keeping McDonald quiet on the Saturday after he scored for England against Cyprus. It was only Cyprus but he didn't get a look in against Alan Dodd.

Best sweeper England never had. Problem is he never really pushed himself and was, if anything, too loyal. He was put out of position at midfield and full back but willingly accepted it. If he'd been more pushy we'd never have heard of Alan Hansen.
He had an Austin maxi

Denis Smith, in his auto-biography, says that Doddy never fulfilled his potential because he did not believe that he was so good and lacked confidence in himself. I think he was capped once for the u-23 side. Great player imo.

Yes he did. We played Vale in front of a low crowd. I think we won 4-3.
