Lauren Page Trustee: Revd Alan Comfort

After playing 250 competitive matches as a professional footballer for Middlesborough and Leyton Orient, Alan’s football career was cut short at the age of twenty five by a serious knee injury. With a real passion for God, Alan took the unusal step among ex professional footballers of becoming an ordained Church of England Vicar. He has served churches in Chadwell Heath, Buckhurst Hill and currently is Vicar of St. Mary’s Loughton. Alan was the Vicar who baptised Lauren in King’s College Hospital and later conducted her Funeral Service at St. John’s in Buckhurst Hill. He served as a Trustee for the Lauren Page Trust for 5 years.
