Clubs played for: Tottenham Hotspur, Luton Town, Portsmouth (1995-2002)
Born: 1977
Birthplace: Beckenham
Position: Striker
Biography: Arguably the least memorable of the three Allens who played for Tottenham (Clive and Les being the others), became Pompey's first £1 million pound purchase when he joined from Spurs in 1999. He was plagued by injuries and was forced to retire at the age of 25, three years and only 15 appearances later. The press had a field day when it was reported that Allen had ‘disappeared’ from the club to go and watch the England cricket team play in Australia before starting a new career as a civil servant in the Foreign Office.
