Alan Beer (born 11 March 1950) is a Welsh-born former footballer who played as a forward in the Football League during the 1970s, most notably with Exeter City.[1]
He started his career with home-town West End F.C., before progressing to play for Swansea's senior team Swansea City. After 15 league appearances he moved into non-league football with Weymouth F.C. but returned to the Football League with Exeter City in 1974/75.[1]
He made over 100 league appearances for Exeter, and was part of the team that were promoted from Football League Division Four in 1976-77, including scoring two goals in an amazing 4-3 win at Barnsley, in which Exeter had trailed 3-0 at half time.[2]
