I see there is a John Boyd who has the exact same date of birth and who also played as a winger on Barry Hugman's Footballers. The link is here: http://hugmansfootballers.com/player/2004 Hugman doesn't list Alan as a middle name and suggests he was born in Massachusetts in the USA and died in Horsham, England in 2007. The Massachusetts birth would make sense because although Dumbarton as a place of birth is listed on his profile on Aberdeen FC's website, Scotland's People (the official and full birth/death records of Scotland) suggests that nobody by the name of John Boyd or John Alan Boyd or Alan Boyd was born in Dumbarton in 1926 (my search: https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/record-results?search_type=people&dl_cat=statutory&dl_rec=statutory-births&surname=boyd&surname_so=exact&forename=john&forename_so=exact&from_year=1926&to_year=1926&record_type=stat_births). A few things quite add up for me though. If this is the same John Boyd, why doesn't Hugman list his middle name as he normally does? Also, the Hugman profile suggests that he made 31 appearances for Bristol City in 1950, which would clash with the timing of the Scottish teams that he played for listed on this Wikipedia page. Can't make up my mind as to whether this is the same person. Any help or suggestions from other users would be appreciated! -- Jkaharper ( talk) 21:01, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
