Douglas Stewart Allder (born 30 December 1951 in Hammersmith, London) is an English former professional footballer who made over 200 appearances in the Football League for Millwall as a left winger. He was capped by England at youth level and is a member of the Millwall Hall of Fame. [3]
Allder began his career with Second Division club Millwall and signed apprentice terms in April 1968 for £4 a week. [4] He signed a professional contract in October 1969, [5] worth £20 a week. [4] He made his debut and broke into the team during the 1969–70 season, making 24 appearances. [6] A dispute with Benny Fenton in 1971 saw Allder play on a week-to-week contract and he nearly moved to play under Gordon Jago at divisional rivals Queens Park Rangers. [4] The move was cancelled after Jago replaced Fenton as Millwall manager, which meant Allder remained at The Den. [4] The Lions occasionally challenged for promotion to First Division, [7] but relegation to Third Division at the end of the 1974–75 season saw Allder depart the club. [8] In his six years with Millwall he made 227 appearances and scored 12 goals. [8] Allder is a member of the Millwall Hall of Fame. [9]
In July 1975, Allder moved to Second Division club Orient in exchange for Terry Brisley and Barrie Fairbrother. [10] He left Orient at the end of the 1976–77 season, [11] after making 53 appearances without scoring. [12] [13] Looking back in 2002, Allder said "I knew straight away it was a bad move. I wasn't happy there". [4]
Allder had a one-month trial with Fourth Division club Torquay United in August 1977 and made one appearance as a substitute for Lindsay Parsons in a League Cup tie away at Cardiff City. [3] [14] In September 1977, he had a month-long trial with Watford and made a single appearance away at Rochdale, in which he was substituted at half-time. [4] [5] Watford went on to win the 1977–78 Fourth Division title and Allder received a winners' medal from chairman Elton John after the final game of the season against Brentford. [4]
In October 1977, Allder joined Fourth Division club Brentford on trial. [15] He quickly became the regular left winger in the team and signed a contract. [15] The Bees were promoted to the Third Division at the end of the season, after securing a fourth-place finish. [16] Allder had an infamous brawl with Sheffield United's Mick Speight during a match at Griffin Park in November 1979, which resulted in the fight spilling over into the Sheffield United dugout and both players being sent off. [4] Allder was released at the end of the 1979–80 season and made 95 appearances and scored three goals during his time at Griffin Park. [4] [1]
Allder joined Isthmian League club Tooting & Mitcham in 1980. [17] He moved to Staines Town in March 1981, before moving to Walton & Hersham. [3]
In 1992, Allder was working in the Millwall Centre of Excellence. [5]
As of 2002, Allder was working at Heathrow Airport. [4]
