Alan Devonshire Autographs

Alan Ernest Devonshire (born 13 April 1956) is an English former professional footballer who was most recently the manager of Maidenhead United. He was a wide midfielder who played for West Ham United, with whom he won the FA Cup in 1980, and Watford, where he finished his career in 1992. Devonshire won eight caps for England between 1980 and 1983. He subsequently became manager of Maidenhead United (two spells), Hampton & Richmond Borough and Braintree Town.
Born in Park Royal, then a part of Middlesex, Crystal Palace rejected Devonshire at age 14 for being too small. He returned to Selhurst Park two years later, playing a couple of youth team games before again being released, this time by former West Ham player and Palace manager, Malcolm Allison. Devonshire started playing for non-league Southall and caught the attention of League clubs such as Reading, Southampton, and Brentford. By day, he worked as a forklift truck driver at the Hoover Factory in Perivale, Middlesex. During this period, two West Ham United scouts, Eddie Baily and Charlie Faulkner, spotted him playing for Southall and recommended him to Ron Greenwood. Devonshire signed for West Ham United in 1976 for a fee of £5,000; "West Ham's best ever buy", according to some.
Devonshire debuted for West Ham on 27 October 1976 in a League Cup tie against Queens Park Rangers, which West Ham lost 2–0. He made his League debut three days later, on 30 October 1976, against West Bromwich Albion, where he played in a 3–0 defeat. He soon became a fan favourite, referred to by his nickname "Dev". His down-to-earth attitude was one to which the fans could relate. He also enhanced his rapport with supporters by travelling to home games on the London Underground from his West London home.
