Alan Grenyer (born August 31, 1892 in North Shields , Northumberland , † April or June 1953 ) was an English football player.
Career
Grenyer came in 1910 from North Shields Athletic to Everton FC , originally an inside striker, he was used at Everton mostly as a left runner, a position in which he was in competition with the English international Harry Makepeace until 1915 . After he was hardly used in the first two seasons at Everton, he was a regular member of the squad from the 1912/13 season and won the English championship with Everton in the 1914/15 season. Between 1915 and 1919 the league operation of the Football League was suspended because of the First World War, Grenyer came in the war-related substitute competitions to 119 missions.
On October 11, 1919, Grenyer, who had strong headers and acted prudently, played for an English national team; the game against Wales is now one of four Victory Internationals of 1919, selection games after the end of the war that are not considered official internationals. After he was regularly part of Everton's squad in the two seasons after the end of the war, missions became increasingly rare in the following years, in 1923/24 he was no longer considered. He made his last appearance on February 10, 1923, in a 3-1 win at Goodison Park against Chelsea.
In November 1924 he moved to the second division team South Shields FC , but was initially disregarded there and only came more and more from the 1926/27 season onwards. In 1928 he rose with the club in the Third Division North and ended his career a year later. At this point he had already gained experience as an assistant coach at South Shields, which he then brought to his former club North Shields. Until his death in 1953 Grenyer remained active as a coach at North Shields.
