Beyond England
In the fantasy world, Sir Alf became the caretaker manager of Melchester Rovers FC in Christmas 1981. Although he only held the position for a few matches, few could honestly fill the boots of Roy Race after he had been shot. Alf himself contributed a few articles to the Daily Mirror throughout the 1980's, but eventually, ill-health took a hold. - An English Football Internationalists' Who's Who. Douglas Lamming (1990).
