In 2016 he became the features editor, and in November 2022 he was named editor.\r\nAlan specialises in long-reads and detailed studies of big-pictures issues within the game, as well as stories of far-flung events and quirky characters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Childhood hero?</strong> Tom Smith\r\n<strong>Team supported growing up?</strong> Dundee HSFP, or Caley Reds (RIP)\r\n<strong>Best match ever attended?</strong> The Lions win over New Zealand in Wellington in 2017 was an absolutely bananas atmosphere. The Calcutta Cup draw in 2019 was easily the most bewildering.\r\n<strong>Bucket list event?</strong> Attending matches in La Rochelle, Fiji and Georgia top the list."
