Alan Cann is an Australian former rugby league footabller who played his career in the forwards.

[edit] Career

Former Australian schoolboy rep (1989) played for Logan City before graduationg from the Brisbane Colts to the Broncos first grade team in 1990.

Cann survived two tackling controversies during 1992 to play a pivotal role in the Broncos' premiership success. He scored two fine tries in the 28-8 win over St George but missed the club's World Club Challenge win because of injury.

After winning another premiership with the Broncos in 1993, he was again involved in a contentious tackle in the club's loss to Wigan in the World Club Challenge at Lang Park the following year. Cann appeared to spear tackle Martin Offiah but the hastily organised international disciplinary tribunal determined that he did not have a case to answer.

After making an appearance for Queensland in the State of Origin Cann was cut from the Broncos' playing roster at the end of 1996. He then joined Super League club the Adelaide Rams.

Having previously completed a law degree at the University of Queensland, Cann went on to become a full-time lawyer.

He now runs a carpet suppy franchise located in Wynnum.
