Alistair Espie "Ally" Maxwell (born 16 February 1965 in Hamilton) is a Scottish football coach and former professional footballer. He is currently a youth coach for SC Del Sol Soccer Club in the United States, having previously played for Motherwell, Rangers and Dundee United, and coached Greenock Morton and US side Sereno Golden Eagles.

Club career

Maxwell famously won the Scottish Cup with Motherwell, playing for most of the second half plus thirty minutes of extra time with broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and intermittent double vision sustained in a collision with Dundee United defender John Clark. Despite his injuries, Maxwell stretched to tip a fierce goal bound shot from Dundee United defender (and future Motherwell manager) Maurice Malpas over the bar with two minutes of extra time remaining, to ensure Motherwell ran out 4-3 winners.

After a playing loan spell in England with Bolton Wanderers, and one in Scotland with Clydebank, Maxwell moved to Rangers, where he picked up a Scottish League Cup winners' medal and a Scottish Cup runners-up medal, as Dundee United gained revenge for Maxwell's heroics three years previously.

Maxwell then moved to Dundee United and spent three seasons at Tannadice, although the majority of his games came in his first season. A move to Greenock Morton followed.

International career

Although present in several Scotland squads, Maxwell never received a cap. He did, however, play in the first half of a Scotland B international against Wales at Wrexham in 1994.^[1]

Coaching

He was briefly a goalkeeping coach at Hamilton Academical, after managing Morton in 2001.

A UEFA 'A' licensed professional coach, he now resides in the United States. He currently works as the goalkeeping coach at SC Del Sol in Arizona, where he has been since 2008.^[2]
