Biography
Alex Notman is a former Scottish footballer who began his career at Manchester United before going on to play for Norwich City and other clubs.

However, his career was severely impacted by injuries, which limited his playing time. Despite his potential, recurring injuries forced him to retire prematurely at the age of 24 in 2003.
