It was to me as if this man would never die, he was intense and full of energy, fantastic lifter yet quite humble. He made me feel more than welcome to his gym, i'm not from around, i'm not even an english man. He knew then i probably wouldnt come back again, yet he dedicated some interest and energy to me. He did make me a better lifter, taught me things. I came back. I like to think we were friends. I wont be able to come to his funeral but if i could i would. For professional reasons i had to train less and dropped out eventually. The day i learnt he's gone i went back training, thinking of him. Alan gave me an experience, i will never forget about him. Rest in peace my friend.

RIP Alan, what i would give to be able to train at a place like his.

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6844 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250 637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 29.03.2013 @ 10:13 AM by Wigan Alan's funeral yesterday, a difficult day as I said a final goodbye to a man I had grown very close to over the last 8 years, a man who was inspirational, and tremendously caring. Losing him has left a big gap in my life, he was my coach but more than that he was one of my very best friends. I was honoured to carry him from the church and again to his final resting place. Alan's son John was very kind and allowed me to place my medal from the Brtish Masters last week with his coffin at the crematorium, so he will forever have one last British Title with him, I owed him at least that. I miss you Al !! This vid is from a couple of years ago, this is how I'll remember my mate Alan Faiclough

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17893 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300 827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq	Video is working now. I remember him telling me "you squatted that like a sack of s**t tied in the middle" Thing was, that told me everything I needed to know and the next one was a peach.
