Biography:
An over-lapping full-back, Alan Fraser was selected for Northern Ireland Amateurs as a seventeen year-old in 1970. A product of Hillsborough Scouts, he had previously captained the youth international side, to notable success. He turned professional with Linfield in December 1970 and, despite some interest from cross-channel clubs, he remained as the Blues regular right-back for a decade during which time he won a host of honours and played well over 300 matches. He then joined Glenavon and in 1983 moved to Carrick Rangers.
Fraser became a much respected manager, initially starting out as player-coach with Carrick before coaching Ballymena, acting as reserve team manager at Glenavon and firstteam coach at Linfield. He was appointed Glenavon manager in October 1991, leading them to that season's Irish Cup. There then followed spells in charge of Ballymena (1995-1999), Loughgall (1999) and Bangor (1999-2000). He returned to the Glenavon coaching staff until sacked along with Stephen McBride in January 2009. The pair later re-emerged as a management duo at Rathfriland Rangers from December 2012 to May 2013.
