Alan Francis Woolfall (born 30 November 1956) is an English former footballer who played as a forward. He scored fourteen goals in 75 league games in the Football League.
Woolfall played for Skelmersdale United and Bury before joining Port Vale in August 1979. He scored on both his league and League Cup débuts, but failed to gain a regular spot in a team struggling near the bottom of the Fourth Division. In all he made seven league and three cup appearances in 1979–80, and scored three goals (at Walsall, Northampton Town, and Tranmere Rovers). Manager John McGrath used him eleven times in 1980–81, and Woolfall found the net once against Halifax Town. In all he made 21 appearances and scored 4 goals during a two season spell (all away from Vale Park), before he was given a free transfer to non-league Marine in May 1981.[1]
Woolfall is married with three children: Bryan, Hannah, and Karl.
