Alan Forbes is a footy fanatic and plays a very important role during footy season at Banfields; he co-ordinates the footy tipping competition!  

Alan has loads of fun visiting all the staff and residents and having lots of 'footy debates' when he's collecting their tips for the upcoming matches. 

Ironically, Alan didn’t have a clue about anything football-related until last year when he took on his new role of Footy Tipping Coordinator at Banfields. From being a rookie, he now sees himself placed almost on top of the ladder! If he keeps up his winning streak, he'll soon dethrone Lifestyle Manager, Robyn Montagu,  who is herself trying to pip resident Harry Bowman who is looking good again this year, having won the competition for the last four years in a row! 

Where footy is concerned, it's every Banfields resident and staff member for themselves, with the results eagerly checked each week.!
