Manc 62: Alan Keegan - The Voice Of Old Trafford

“I'm living the dream - Manchester United fan, boy and man”

What’s it like to live your dream? Alan Keegan is otherwise known as “The Voice of Old Trafford”, where he’s the corporate MC and matchday compere.  

Alan’s family came to Manchester from the west of Ireland in the late 50’s. They settled in Chorlton Upon Medlock, where his mum ran a shop, which was a real hub of the community.  With players like George Best, Alan and his family were cemented as lifelong supporters of Manchester United.  

He’s been working at Manchester United since the late 90’s. In this episode, you'll hear the stories of the managers and players that have passed through during that time, and you’ll hear what Alan’s learnt from them about leadership and teamwork too.

Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre.  From that point, the business, and its team members, have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture.

To celebrate the 25 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family’ and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.
