Back to GoS-DB Hub Find Another Player ALAN WELSH Born: 09 July 1947 Came from: Torquay United Went to: Bournemouth First game: 12 August 1972 Last game: 30 January 1974 Appearances: 81 (79/2) Goals: 18 Welsh was an Edinburgh-born winger who began his professional career with Millwall, joining them from his local junior club Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic. He made only a handful of appearances in just over two years at The Den, moving on to Torquay United in 1967. After five years and more than 150 appearances for Torquay, he moved to Home Park. He was virtually ever-present over the next 18 months and played an important part in the 1973-74 League Cup run. However, the semi-final defeat to Manchester City proved to be his last game for the club as he was sold to Bournemouth. He returned to Millwall to finish his career 18 months later, and following his retirement, moved to South Africa, where he played for Cape Town City.
