Alan Main is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on December 5, 1967 in Elgin, Elgin, United Kingdom. Alan Main was born in Elgin, Morayshire, on 5 December 1967 and grew up in nearby Lossiemouth, the youngest of four children. His father, Louis Main, played in the Highland Football League for Forres Mechanics. Alan and both of his brothers would also go on to play in the Highland League. Main played as a goalkeeper from an early age with Elgin Boys Club. He had the opportunity to sign for Motherwell on schoolboy forms, but turned the offer down due to the distance from his family home.

Main signed for Dundee United’s Tayside rivals St Johnstone in 1995 as competition for Saints’ then first-choice goalkeeper Andy Rhodes. Known for his long kicks and dribbling skills outside his box, Main signed a three-year deal with the Perth club in 1997 and was again called up to the Scotland squad (this time by Craig Brown) not long afterwards. He made the substitutes’ bench twice, but with Jim Leighton and Andy Goram ahead of him in the pecking order, he never took to the field.

In February 2004, Main was one of a number of players affected by financial problems at Livingston and was asked to take a pay cut to remain at the club. Within days, Celtic indicated their interest in signing Main. Along with the other five players asked to accept reduced terms, Main agreed to remain at Livingston for the remainder of the season.

Following the beginning of the 2004–05 season, Main joined Scottish Third Division side Gretna on a three-year deal and went on to feature in each of their consecutive championship wins, culminating in promotion to the Scottish Premier League. Main guested for Shamrock Rovers in a friendly against Hibernian in July 2005. On 6 March 2007, two months before Gretna’s promotion to the top flight, it was announced that Main had signed a pre-contract agreement with his former club St Johnstone on a two-year deal.

Main then transferred from Elgin City, signing a full-time contract with Dundee United. Main also played for St Johnstone, Livingston and Gretna in a twenty-year full-time professional career. In addition, Main appeared for Cowdenbeath and East Stirlingshire on loan and Ayr United as a trialist. He won the Scottish League Cup with Livingston and three Scottish Football League divisional medals.
