Alan, (seen above centre), first joined the Old Gold in 1970 and still remains an integral part of the Town set-up to this day.
He served as Secretary of the club for 26 years and is a legend in the history of the Welsh League.
He was presented his award by Mr. Bob Waygood (above left), former secretary of the West Wales FA and Mr. Ken Tucker (above right) the Welsh League Secretary and Vice Chairman of the Welsh FA.
Both paid tribute to Alan’s wonderful service to the club and stated that there were only a dozen recipients of the award throughout the whole of Wales.
“His contribution to the club and the league in general is immeasurable and is thoroughly deserving of the award.”
Alan remains as the author of the famous column in the Town Match Day programme “In a league of his own” which is essential reading at every home game.
The former referee and goalkeeper was joined by his family at the event at Carmarthen Town Football Club Community Centre along with other members of the club.
