Stats
Bio
Recruited from Ararat in country Victoria, Alan Young was a tall half-forward flanker who arrived at Victoria Park for the 1954 season. Standing 183cm, he possessed the size to serve as a marking target in the Magpies' forward line and was handed his senior debut in Round 3 against South Melbourne. Young made an immediate impact by booting his solitary VFL goal during that victory, but he found it difficult to cement a permanent spot in the starting 18. He managed just three senior appearances in total during his single season at the highest level before his brief VFL career concluded.
