Picked up from Burnley for £8000, Shackleton got off to a good
start at Leeds, including an early hat-trick, but he was allowed to
move to Everton and found his scoring touch deserting him. After
spells with Nelson and Oldham, he left the professional ranks and
played non-league football in the south.
Martin Slater says: I know alans son who lives with him in bromley
Common he is a top bloke and a good laugh and by the sounds of it a
top striker

years ago on the 12th of june this year. I would like to get intouch
with him and hear from him.
Jess Shackleton says: I know that Alan is a very down to earth man
and i love him dearly as he is my dad. He was a legend and still is
with all the stories he still tells me to this day.
