Alan Ainscow (born 15 July 1953 in Bolton, Lancashire) is a former English professional footballer.
Ainscow began his career with Blackpool as an apprentice, making his debut in July 1971. In the Anglo-Italian Cup final against Bologna, still without a league appearance, he played an excellent game before being substituted before the end of normal time due to exhaustion.
His league debut came at the start of the 1971-72 season. He scored in a win over Swindon. It took a while for him to become a regular. It was after the departure of Tommy Hutchison that he became almost an ever-present in the Tangerines line-up.
Ainscow could play on either flank, although he later found himself lying deeper. In 1972/73, he was joint-top scorer with Alan Suddick.
After 193 appearances for the Seasiders, in July 1978 he was transferred to Birmingham for £40,000.
Three years later, in August 1981, he joined Everton. After a loan spell at Barnsley, he went on to play for Eastern of Hong Kong, Wolves, Blackbun Rovers and Rochdale before. He moved into non-league football with Horwich RMI in 1990.
After a long spell out of the game, Ainscow was appointed as joint coach to the Under-17 team of Burscough in August 2005.
