I met Alan for the first time in the summer of 2013 at his camp called “Can Do”, which was held in Samokov, Bulgaria.
Alan is full of theoretical knowledge as well as invaluable practical experience in refereeing and he is able to share them in an accessible and engaging way.
He’s an encyclopedia full of so many stories, events, and experience.
In the years since then and up until now, whenever I’ve needed help, support or advice, I’ve always known that I can call him and that he’ll always try to help.
