The moments that slipped away. If you want to hear how a legend's potential faded, drop a hype right now. Alvin was born on July twenty-ninth, nineteen fifty-eight in Walton, Liverpool. The culture there is sharp. People take the mickey. They joke and poke fun. This is banter. Years later in East London, he found the same thing. Cockneys and Scousers get on. They both love mickey-taking. This would shape who he became. A kid from Liverpool who could fit in London. He started at Everton as a schoolboy. As a teenager, he went for a trial at Queens Park Rangers. They were not sure about him. They asked him to come back. Alvin told them he was going on holiday. But he was really trying West Ham. Ron Greenwood was the manager. He saw something in this teenager. He offered an apprentice contract. That choice changed everything. In nineteen seventy-four, Alvin moved to West Ham. This was his real home. West Ham's academy was special. The coaches believed in technique and keeping the ball. This was beautiful football. In nineteen seventy-five, he played in the FA Youth Cup final. In nineteen seventy-six, he signed professional terms. His senior debut came in nineteen seventy-eight against Aston Villa. West Ham was struggling. They got relegated. This was bad for the club. But for Alvin, it was perfect. He got to play a lot. Week after week, match after match. This is where he became great. This is where he met Billy Bonds.
