Alan Peter Charles Green (born 19 April 1951) is an English former professional footballer who started his career at AFC Bournemouth. He was released in the summer of 1972 without making a senior appearance, and moved to Mansfield Town. On his first appearance for them, he collapsed due to a heart condition. He later played in the Southern League with Salisbury, where he was the club's leading scorer in the 1976/77 and 1977/78 seasons (the latter jointly with Paul Christopher). In July 1978 he was appointed as player / manager of Andover, rejoining Salisbury a year later. During his four seasons at Salisbury, he scored a total of 136 goals. After a further spell at Andover, he finished his playing career with Basingstoke Town.
