Alan learned his trade as an Old Trafford trainee, a stint which included two loan spells at Swansea, during which time he made nearly 40 appearances.
That was enough to convince the club to sign the promising defender on a permanent deal in February 2004.
He has been a first-team regular ever since, playing as a right-back, centre-half, or even as an accomplished midfielder.
The fans' favourite has also played as a goalkeeper on two occasions, the first time at Hartlepool in 2003 following an injury to Roger Freestone and again in October 2008 when he replaced Dorus de Vries against QPR.
In the absence of captain Garry Monk he has also skippered the club on numerous occasions, especially during the latter stages of the 2008/09 Championship season and early part of 2009/10.
