Ian Allinson Biography

Ian Allinson is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on October 1, 1957 in Stevenage, England, United Kingdom. Ian James Robert Allinson, an English football manager and former football player, is currently the manager of St Albans City.

After only 14 Arsenal appearances in 1986-87, Allinson signed for Stoke City in Second Division. He only made nine appearances before signing for Luton Town in October 1987 for a PS10,000 fee. After scoring three goals in 32 league matches for Luton United, Allinson was free to return to Colchester United in December 1988. Before his return to Colchester, he had been a part of Luton’s FA Cup semi-final in 1988 and the Full Members Cup final.

Allinson was tasked with having to help save Colchester from relegation from the Football League to the Conference by caretaker manager Steve Foley, and under new manager Jock Wallace, United clawed their way back up from the bottom of the league table, with Allinson scoring seven crucial goals to stave off the threat of relegation in the 1988–89 season. However, the club’s form failed to improve, and he was released just before Christmas 1989, when he joined Baldock Town as player-manager.

Following his retirement from playing, Allinson became player-manager at Baldock Town from 1989 to 1992 before spending six years managing Stotfold. He later managed Barton Rovers on two occasions, Harlow Town, Boreham Wood, Stotfold on a further two occasions, and back to Boreham Wood where he is currently manager.

Allinson made his debut in the League Cup against Walsall on 29/11/83, marking the end of Terry Neill’s tenure as club manager. George Graham was his new manager and he was able to sometimes keep Charlie Nicholas out of the team. He scored eight goals in one set of 11 appearances.

Allinson was born in Hitchin. He began his career at Colchester United in 1974 as an apprentice. He made his debut in 1975 as a substitute for Jimmy Lindsay in his match against Bobby Charlton’s Preston North End. The match at Layer Road ended in a draw of 2-2. He was awarded the club’s Young Player of the Year award in his first season. In October 1975, he received his first professional contract.

Colchester’s 1976-77 promotion winning side was led by Allinson, who scored the winning goal against Bradford City in the final match of the season that secured them a promotion slot. Allinson was a consistent performer for the U’s but it wasn’t until the 1981-82 season when Allinson became well-known in the football world. Colchester had a strong strike force that included Roy McDonough and Kevin Bremner as well as Tony Adcock, Allinson and Tony Adcock, who combined for 43 league goals in two seasons. Colchester valued Allinson at around PS100,000. However, an administration error led to Allinson’s future benefits and bonuses being incorrectly entered as less than his contract. This allowed the club to grant Allinson a free transfer. Fulham was the most likely club to sign Allinson before an Arsenal late bid was made. Allinson joined them in the summer 1983.

Allinson was influential during a League Cup semi-final game with local rivals Tottenham Hotspur in 1987, coming on as a substitute to score the goal to draw the sides level after 82 minutes, and then providing the assist for David Rocastle to score the winner. However, Allinson was left out of the squad for the final, in which Arsenal defeated Liverpool.
