Scottish International defender Graham Alexander is the type of player that managers love simply for their sheer effort and dedication. So it was no surprise when former PNE boss Craig Brown awarded the full-back with a new two-year deal midway through the 2003\/04 season. <\/SPAN><\/P>

Alexander is also Mr Consistency and last season he joined Paul McKenna in making his 300th appearances for the club after signing from Luton back in 1997. <\/SPAN><\/P>

He is widely regarded as one of the deadliest spot-kick takers in the Coca-Cola League and is also quite handy from a dead-ball situation and he was voted in the PFA's Championship Team of the Season for 2004\/05.

The 33-year-old was recognised by national boss Walter Smith and he was recalled to the squad for the World Cup qualifying double header in June last year.

Since then he has been an ever present in the national squad at left back, a position he's become accustomed to this season a playing a large proportion of the game on the left hand side of the back four.

Following the departure of Chris Lucketti to Sheffield United, Alexander was handed the Captain's armband.<\/SPAN><\/P>","9DPBr+SznhaBcccfYefc3w==":"1971-10-10","nzMuHLQVi5tPAq\/fqFAomQ==":"76kg","iTe6sm\/RNmo=":"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Intersonic+Stadium+Valley+Parade,Bradford,West+Yorkshire,+BD8+7DY+uk&sll=53.65618,-1.768445&sspn=0.003662,0.01133&ie=UTF8&ll=53.804354,-1.7588&spn=0.001825,0.005665&t=h&z=18","8p98KWdVBDs8ZpPLOYfYsg==":"2023-11-6","WntZyPdVX0d5gJei+j\/WeA==":"","7DEqYYZerOs=":"1","cRbCjP7woKNPAq\/fqFAomQ==":"","UXaJUOfr896fWxBEaVb0lw==":"\u0e21\u0e34\u0e25\u0e15\u0e31\u0e19 \u0e04\u0e35\u0e22\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e4c \u0e14\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e4c","+mEfI5L16HXFGAXe3dhUZA==":"\u0e21\u0e34\u0e25\u0e15\u0e31\u0e19 \u0e04\u0e35\u0e22\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e4c \u0e14\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e4c,\u0e21\u0e32\u0e40\u0e18\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e40\u0e27\u0e25\u0e25\u0e4c,\u0e0b\u0e2d\u0e25\u0e1f\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e14\u0e0b\u0e34\u0e15\u0e35,\u0e2a\u0e04\u0e31\u0e19\u0e18\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e1b \u0e22\u0e39\u0e44\u0e19\u0e40\u0e15\u0e47\u0e14,\u0e1f\u0e25\u0e35\u0e15\u0e27\u0e39\u0e49\u0e14 \u0e17\u0e32\u0e27\u0e19\u0e4c","TIQwWLS+zLx5gJei+j\/WeA==":"Intersonic Stadium Valley Parade,Bradford,West Yorkshire, BD8 7DY","Ec7hsakrxBc=":"Graham Alexander","2M4cOvS22HV5gJei+j\/WeA==":"\u0e2d\u0e31\u0e07\u0e01\u0e24\u0e29","MzXYFb91SWl5gJei+j\/WeA==":"","PEITR7h6Az65GEYYPonQzg==":"\u0e41\u0e1a\u0e23\u0e14\u0e1f\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e14","e_index":8};var teamHistoryMatch={"pzkMTIkmqeg=":{"340":"\u0e08\u0e34\u0e25\u0e25\u0e34\u0e48\u0e07\u0e41\u0e2e\u0e21","520":"\u0e41\u0e1a\u0e23\u0e14\u0e1f\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e14","625":"\u0e40\u0e0a\u0e25\u0e17\u0e4c\u0e41\u0e19\u0e48\u0e21","11563":"\u0e0b\u0e2d\u0e25\u0e1f\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e14\u0e0b\u0e34\u0e15\u0e35","3661":"\u0e1a\u0e23\u0e2d\u0e21\u0e25\u0e35\u0e22\u0e4c","58":"\u0e21\u0e34\u0e25\u0e15\u0e31\u0e19 \u0e04\u0e35\u0e22\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e4c \u0e14\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e4c","463":"\u0e40\u0e1a\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e21\u0e34\u0e07\u0e41\u0e2e\u0e21","3527":"\u0e19\u0e34\u0e27\u0e1e\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e15 \u0e40\u0e04\u0e32\u0e19\u0e4c\u0e15\u0e35\u0e49","887":"\u0e41\u0e2d\u0e04\u0e04\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07\u0e15\u0e31\u0e19","3656":"\u0e2e\u0e32\u0e42\u0e23\u0e40\u0e01\u0e15 \u0e17\u0e32\u0e27\u0e19\u0e4c","258":"\u0e23\u0e47\u0e2d\u0e15\u0e40\u0e18\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e41\u0e2e\u0e21","3936":"\u0e27\u0e34\u0e21\u0e40\u0e1a\u0e34\u0e25\u0e14\u0e31\u0e19","1421":"\u0e21\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e41\u0e04\u0e21\u0e1a\u0e4c","346":"\u0e27\u0e2d\u0e25\u0e0b\u0e2d\u0e25\u0e25\u0e4c","1420":"\u0e04\u0e32\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e44\u0e25\u0e2a\u0e4c","19304":"\u0e41\u0e2d\u0e2a\u0e15\u0e31\u0e19 \u0e27\u0e34\u0e25\u0e25\u0e48\u0e32(U21)","395":"\u0e01\u0e23\u0e34\u0e21\u0e2a\u0e1a\u0e35\u0e49 \u0e17\u0e32\u0e27\u0e19\u0e4c","2407":"\u0e1a\u0e32\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e42\u0e23\u0e27\u0e4c","443":"\u0e40\u0e0a\u0e2a\u0e40\u0e15\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e1f\u0e34\u0e25\u0e14\u0e4c","673":"\u0e1e\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e17\u0e40\u0e27\u0e25","771":"\u0e19\u0e47\u0e2d\u0e15\u0e15\u0e4c\u0e2a\u0e40\u0e04\u0e32\u0e19\u0e4c\u0e15\u0e35\u0e49"},"1Z2\/zUE8SZeLdxR2ww6GJQ==":{"id":[4710543,4710525,4710521,4710389,4710498,4839075,4710488,4804480,4710453,4833725,4710435,4710425,4710412,4710402,4813335,4710376,4710364,4710352,4710340,4710336],"mid":[106,106,106,106,106,199,106,106,106,199,106,106,106,106,199,106,106,106,106,106],"aid":[340,520,11563,3661,520,463,3527,520,520,258,3936,520,520,1420,19304,520,2407,520,520,771],"bid":[520,625,520,520,58,520,520,887,3656,520,520,1421,346,520,520,395,520,443,673,520],"date":["08\/03\/25","05\/03\/25","01\/03\/25","26\/02\/25","22\/02\/25","19\/02\/25","15\/02\/25","12\/02\/25","08\/02\/25","05\/02\/25","01\/02\/25","29\/01\/25","25\/01\/25","18\/01\/25","15\/01\/25","04\/01\/25","01\/01\/25","29\/12\/24","26\/12\/24","21\/12\/24"],"liveA":[1,3,1,0,2,2,0,1,1,0,1,1,3,0,1,3,2,2,2,3],"liveB":[0,0,2,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,3,1,2,1,1,0],"redA":[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],"redB":[0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0],"bc":["0-0","1-0","1-0","0-0","1-0","1-0","0-0","1-0","1-0","0-0","1-0","1-0","2-0","0-0","1-3","1-0","1-1","1-1","1-0","3-0"],"ng":[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],"rq":["0.25","-0.75","-0.0","-0.0","-0.75","-1.25","0.75","-0.75","-1.0","-0.25","-0.25","-1.0","-0.0","0.25","1.0","-0.5","-0.0","-0.5","-0.25","-0.25"],"rql":[0,1,1,1,0,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,0],"worl":[2,0,0,0,0,2,1,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,2],"oworl":[3,0,0,0,0,1,3,1,2,0,3,2,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,3]},"k0ms2L8PEGQ=":{"106":{"n":"ENG D2","c":"9E277D"},"199":{"n":"ENG JPT","c":"A600A0"}},"zcC0Lqufxag=":[],"e_index":8};
