Alan Paul Maybury (born 8 August 1978) is an Irish professional football coach and former player who currently manages Scottish League Two club Stirling Albion.
[3] In an attempt to gain experience of regular first-team action, Maybury spent spells on loan at Reading and Crewe between 1999 and 2001.
Returning to Elland Road, he also played in Leeds' 3-3 draw with Lazio in the UEFA Champions League, during which he suffered a serious knee injury[4] due to a horror tackle by Pavel Nedvěd.
[5] Despite agreeing a new one-year deal,[6] Maybury continued to find it hard to displace Gary Kelly and decided it was in his best interests to leave, with Craig Levein paying £130,000 to secure his services for Hearts in October 2001.
Maybury was however transfer listed by then-manager Martin Allen on 4 June 2007,[10] having been replaced by Bruno Ngotty and Richard Stearman.
After leaving St Johnstone, Maybury trained with Hibernian during the 2012–13 pre-season and played in a friendly match against East Fife.
[19] He signed a one-year contract with Hibernian in August 2012, making him one of a handful of players to have played in the first team for both Edinburgh rivals.
He was placed in charge of Falkirk Under-20's side, which he said was his main focus – but confirmed he had also signed as a player so he was available to play if needed by manager Peter Houston.
He made his competitive debut for Falkirk in a 7–1 win away to East Stirlingshire in the Scottish Challenge Cup, starting at right-back.
