Danny Alcock (born February 15, 1984) is an English professional football goalkeeper who currently plays for Stafford Rangers in the Conference National.
Alcock was born in Stoke on Trent, joining local side Stoke City as a trainee from school. He turned professional in August 2001, but was released in May 2003 without making his first team debut for Stoke, signing for local side Stone Dominoes and subsequently moving on to Kidsgrove Athletic.[1]
He joined Barnsley in August 2003. He was understudy to first Sasa Ilic and then Marlon Beresford, but finally made his league debut on April 12, 2004 in a 3–3 draw at home to Queens Park Rangers, replacing the injured Beresford midway through the first half. That was his only first team appearance for Barnsley and he was released at the end of the season.[2]
He joined Accrington Stanley in July 2004,[3] playing five times in the Conference the following season. In the 2005–06 season, Accrington won the title and promotion to the Football League, but Alcock played just once, in the 2–0 defeat away to Kidderminster Harriers on the final day of the season as Stanley rested regular keeper Robert Elliot. He would have played more often, in particular when a broken arm in a reserve game prevented him from replacing the injured and soon to retire Stuart Jones.[4]
He was released soon after that game [5] and joined Stafford Rangers in August 2006,[6] quickly establishing himself as Rangers' regular keeper the following season.
His younger brother Adam is also a goalkeeper in non-league football.[7]
