A St Lucia international, his only playing honour was as an FA Vase winner with Stamford in 1980. Alexander had two spells as manager of Lincoln City and in November 2003 he collapsed with a double aneurysm which saw him being brought back to life three times. He returned to his managerial career, moving on to Peterborough and then Macclesfield where he remained to the end. Alexander had been off ill recently but was back at the helm and collapsed last night after returning home from the game against his first club, Notts County.
