Alec Chamberlain

Alec Francis Roy Chamberlain (born 20 June 1964) is an English former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Chamberlain started his career at Ipswich as a trainee, but didn't make a single appearance for the club, moving to Colchester in 1982.

However, the then 23-year-old was unable to displace established Everton goalkeeper Neville Southall, and his only appearances in the 1987–88 season were during a loan spell at Tranmere.

[2] Towards the end of the 1994–95 season, he was loaned to Liverpool as understudy to David James after previous deputy Michael Stensgaard dislocated a shoulder in an ironing incident.

Despite never playing a game for the Anfield side he collected a Football League Cup winner's medal as he was a non-playing substitute in the final.

The club signed Tottenham goalkeeper Espen Baardsen, and the two players competed for the starting position through the 2000–01 season.
