Career
Warner was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler. His career saw him spend four years at Worcestershire, having represented them since 1980 in the Second XI Championship. All this was merely the lead-up to a distinguished twelve-year career with Derbyshire.
Warner"s first notable act as a cricketer was to impress team-mate Kim Barnett with a shocking bouncer.
With added time and consistency, Warner eventually worked his way into the Derbyshire team After a wretched season for the Peakites, Warner came up with his best bowling figures for the Derbyshire team in first-class cricket.
Warner was a tailend batsman for the Worcestershire side, but ending up batting higher up the order with Derbyshire thanks to Martin Jean-Jacques and Ole Mortensen being lower quality batsmen. A consistent player over many years, Warner played just one match in 1996, after his 1995 benefit season only raised £15,000.
Allan retired from county cricket and played and coached at Halesowen Cricket Club in Worcestershire from 1997-2005.
He is currently working at the University of Wolverhampton.
