Alan James Hawley (born 7 June 1946) is an English former professional footballer who played in the Football League as a right back. He made over 340 appearances for Brentford and was added to the club's Hall of Fame in 2013.
Hawley began his career at Division Four club Brentford as an apprentice in June 1962, earning £7 a week. When he made his debut at home to Barrow on 29 September 1962 at the age of 16 years, 3 months and 22 days, Hawley was the youngest player to make his debut for Brentford. Hawley had to wait until the 1964–65 season to make his breakthrough and won his first piece of silverware, the London Challenge Cup. Either side of a long spell out with a cartilage problem, Hawley was an ever-present during the 1967–68 and 1969–70 seasons.
After a period on the transfer list, the highlight of Hawley's career came during the 1971–72 season, when he missed just three games of a successful campaign in which a third-place finish saw the Bees promoted to Division Three. He succeeded Bobby Ross as captain of the side in 1972 and was awarded a testimonial in May 1974 against Leyton Orient, earning him £1,732. Hawley departed the club at the end of the 1973–74 season, having made 343 appearances and scored four goals for the club. Hawley was added to the Brentford Hall of Fame in 2013, alongside fellow inductees and former teammates Jackie Graham and Bobby Ross.
