Alexander McKeachie Notman (born 10 December 1979 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish football player who currently plays for Wroxham.

[edit] Early life

Notman was born near Edinburgh, Scotland and educated at Newbattle Community High School in Dalkeith.

[edit] Career

He was a highly-rated youth player at Manchester United and featured for the Scotland U-21 side. However, he failed to break into the Manchester first team (due to the presence of Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole and Teddy Sheringham) and he had loan spells at Aberdeen F.C. and Sheffield United. Notman signed for Norwich City for a fee of £250,000 on 28th November 2000, making his debut a few days later. He damaged ankle ligaments in late 2002 during an East Anglian Derby match at Portman Road and, after failing to fully recover, retired from the professional game in 2003. Notman signed for non-league King's Lynn in January 2004. However ankle problems continued and he was forced to retire, and had a match in his honour at Carrow Road in May 2005. He returned to football in 2007, signing for Boston United making his debut in the recently televised Setanta Shield second round defeat to Kettering Town. He moved on to Wroxham a few months later.
