Timeline

1943

Alan Henry Boswell (8 August 1943 – 24 August 2017) was an English football goalkeeper who made 479 league and cup appearances in a 12-year career in the English Football League.

1958

Boswell started his career with home town club Walsall, joining as an amateur in 1958 and turning professional in 1960.

1961

He began his career at Walsall in 1961, before moving on to Shrewsbury Town in 1963.

Walsall finished 14th in the Second Division in 1961–62, under the stewardship of Bill Moore.

1962

He remained the first-choice keeper at Fellows Park in 1962–63, as the "Saddlers" were relegated into the Third Division.

1963

He moved on to league rivals Shrewsbury Town, who finished mid-table in 1963–64, 1964–65 and 1965–66, before missing out on promotion by four places and three points in 1966–67.

1967

The "Shrews" finished third in 1967–68, missing out on promotion by a single point.

He was the first-choice stopper for Arthur Rowley's side throughout his five years at Gay Meadow.

1968

He spent five years at the club, before winning a move to First Division club Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1968.

Boswell signed with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1968, but played just ten First Division games in 1968–69, including a 6–0 defeat to Liverpool at Molineux.

He was sold on to Bolton Wanderers at the end of the campaign, who were competing in the Second Division under the stewardship of Nat Lofthouse.

1969

The "Trotters" finished 16th in 1969–70, before suffering relegation in last place in 1970–71.

1971

In his last season at Burnden Park, 1971–72, Bolton finished seventh in the Third Division.

1972

The next year he moved on to Bolton Wanderers, before signing with Port Vale in July 1972.

He moved to Gordon Lee's Third Division Port Vale in July 1972 and kept a clean sheet on his debut in a draw with Rochdale at Spotland on 12 August that year.

He spent two seasons of regular football with the club, leaving some unpleasant memories for many Vale fans: conceding seven goals to Rotherham United at Millmoor, he was sent off for fighting during a 1–0 win at Swansea Town at Vetch Field, and managed to palm the ball into his own net in a 1–1 draw with former club Walsall at Vale Park.

He was favoured ahead of Reg Edwards in 1972–73 and 1973–74.

1974

He left Vale Park in May 1974, and later turned out for Oswestry Town, who he managed in the first half of the 1976–77 season.

He was given a free transfer in May 1974 by new manager Roy Sproson, and moved on to non-League side Oswestry Town, where he also served as manager in the first half of the 1976–77 Southern League Division One North season.

Boswell was a goalkeeper ahead of his time, as he was castigated for his teammates for warming up outside the goal area before games, which became common practice after his retirement.

He also bought his own kit and wore gloves, which few other goalkeepers did at the time.

After retiring from football, he ran a newsagent's shop in Shrewsbury and found success in the pool table industry.

He married Rosalind and had twin daughters.

2007

Another daughter, Faye Turney, was one of the 15 British naval personnel seized by Iran in 2007.

2017

His death was reported on 24 August 2017.
