    Oh dear….RIP Alan Little, he was a great player for us in Division 4 and as already been said he was as hard as nails and could never be accused of giving anything less than 100%

    RIP Alan.
    I loved seeing him win a tackle and scare the **** out of the opposition.
    Terrific player for us.
    RIP lad.

    Alan was slightly before my time as a reds fan, but I like hearing stories from our fans.
    Saying what a player Little was, really tough and no nonsense, and hard but fair.
    Definitely a player who you wanted in your team. :)

    Never saw him play, he left a year or so before I started watching us. But remember my Dad commenting on how fearless a player he was, and had more to his game than just that.
    RIP Alan Little.

    Hardest hard man I've ever seen. Hope they dole out some shinpads in football heaven. Sad news indeed, RIP

    We thought Kitching was hard in the tackle.
    We thought Hunter could go in hard as well.
    But Alan Little was something else! RIP

    Sad news indeed.
    RIP Alan.
    One of my favourite Reds. In my head I can still see an opposition player flying six feet in the air after being daft enough to go for a 50/50 ball against Animal. Not that there was ever a 50/50 where Alan was concerned - they were all 100/0 in his favour.

    My first football hero. In my memory he tackles the other side to death gets sent off at half time but is still man of the match.
