Allen emerged at Sunderland and was seen as a good prospect for the future, but an oversight meant that he was not kept on the club's retained list. He was snapped up by Southampton, where he proved to be an excellent keeper for 8 years. He was signed by his former colleague at the Dell, James McIntyre, and helped City to it's best season since joining the Football League. His slight build often left him the prey of centre forwards, but his agility was outstanding. At the age of 35, he moved to Accrington. After retiring, Allen settled in Coventry.
