- Allan started his youth career in 1990 when, as a 10-year-old, he joined the Scottish professional soccer club Rangers F.C. It is the 4th-oldest soccer club in Scotland and the country’s most successful.
- He stayed there until 1997 after which his senior career began with Hibernian F.C., a professional soccer club based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
- In May 2008, for his performances with Airdrieonians F.C., Allan was named the ‘Player of the Year’ in the Scottish Football League Second Division (the third tier of the Scottish soccer league system between 1975 and 2013). He had scored 28 goals for the team across all competitions in a record-breaking season.
- During his stint with North Carolina FC (2010-2011) (then known as the Carolina RailHawks), he won the North American Soccer League (a now-defunct competition that served as a Division II league in the United States soccer league system) championship in both 2010 and 2011.
- In March 2017, Allan joined the English men’s national soccer team as their attacking coach. During the 2018 edition of the FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) World Cup, he earned a lot of acclaim for his work on the English team’s attacking set pieces. The team eventually finished in 4th place, their best performance in the tournament since 1990.
