Julian Alsford

Centre-half (1992-1993)

After captaining the youth team, Julian Alsford established himself in reserve-team football and was loaned out for experience at non-League level. With senior defenders ahead of him in the queue there were only limited opportunities of a first-team place at centre-half and he was tried as a striker in the Reserves before being released.
