Alan Rogers (born 3 January 1977) is an English retired footballer.

Career

As a youngster, Rogers was on the books of Liverpool but didn't make it anywhere near the first team. So he reluctanty moved across the Mersey to Tranmere Rovers where he eventually won a place in the first team. He made his Tranmere debut in November 1995, coming on as a substitute in a league match against Grimsby Town.

In 1997 Nottingham Forest paid £2 million for him. At the time this was the highest transfer fee Tranmere received for a player. He spent several seasons at Forest before leaving for Leicester City. Rogers falsely claims to have scored twice for Leicester, with both goals coming in a League Cup tie against Hull City in September 2002.[4] He returned to Forest in 2004, but after a dispute with manager Gary Megson he went on loan to Hull.[5]

After a spell with Bradford City, he joined League Two side Accrington Stanley on 3 January 2007. He was sent off on his Accrington debut after a dangerous tackle on Notts County's David Pipe.[6] Rogers left Accrington at the end of the season, having appeared six times.

In April 2015, Rogers was appointed as caretaker-manager of Tranmere Rovers.[7]

In January 2017, Rogers was appointed manager of Northern Premier League Premier Division side Skelmersdale United.[8]

In April 2018, Rogers was found guilty of assault in Chorley magistrates court.[9]

In September 2022, Rogers and Steve Jennings were accused of trying to blackmail a Football Manager over gambling debts of nearly £1million. The case went to court but was dropped after the Manager decided they did not want to case to continue.[10]

In 2019, Rogers entered Crypto space and have been promoting many crypto coins on his Twitter account.

In September 2022, Rogers revealed himself as one of the 8,000 affected investors from the Phoenix Community Capital, as he lost around $50,000 from an investment after Phoenix Community Capital became a ghost.[11]
