Yes me too @liampie I guess it won’t happen now.

Alan Judge was such a creative player for us. Shame injuries disrupted his career, he could’ve gone further.

Alan Judge was a standout player for us during a time when we didn’t have many consistent stars. His technical ability was top-notch, and he had that spark you look for in attacking players. I always thought he had the potential to play in the Premier League, and it’s a shame injuries prevented that. Despite his bad luck, he managed to have a decent career, especially at Brentford, where he was outstanding before his leg break. It’s sad to think about what might have been, but it’s also important to celebrate what he achieved.

Nice to see that Alan has joined Woking, & I wish him luck with his new Club & that he remains injury free.

Alan Judge was one of my favourite players back in the day. He was such a good player. After he left us, we never seemed to find someone to replace him. I see a lot of Judge in Dan Crowley and Cal Roberts. They are players who can take control of a game and change the outcome with pure brilliance.

Alan Judge was one of those players who had the perfect mix of skill and determination. You could tell he was destined for big things even when he played for us. I remember him linking up so well with Neal Bishop in midfield, they were unstoppable at times. What’s sad is that injuries derailed what could’ve been an incredible career. He might’ve even played for Ireland in major tournaments if things had gone differently. That said, it’s a testament to his character that he still managed to make an impact at Brentford and Ipswich after everything.

He is a good player. I hope signing for Woking has given him a new lease of life in the time he has left in football. His time at Notts will always be remembered for the brilliance he brought to the pitch.

Alan Judge will always be one of my favourite Notts players. His ability to glide past defenders and pick out killer passes was a joy to watch. I still remember his free kick against Stevenage, what a beauty that was! He was a player who could get the crowd on their feet, and it’s no surprise that Brentford saw his potential.

Injuries really took their toll on him, but even after his setbacks, he showed incredible determination to keep going. Players like Judgey don’t come along too often, and I’m grateful for the time we had him. It’s nice to see discussions like this, keeping his contributions to the club alive. He’ll always be a legend in my eyes.

Players like him don’t just bring quality to a team, they bring heart. I hope he’s enjoying at Woking, he’s earned it. Still, he gave us plenty of moments to remember, and I’ll always consider him one of the best players we’ve had in recent years. It’s great to see fans still talking about him.

[B&Wstripes]

It’s hard not to feel a bit emotional thinking about Alan Judge. He was brilliant for us, and you could see his love for the game every time he played. That energy and drive were infectious, it lifted the whole team and the fans. Watching him move to Brentford was bittersweet because we lost a great player, but he went on to prove himself at a higher level. The leg break was devastating, though, and I don’t think he ever truly recovered his form after that.

[NottsTastic]

It’s a pity how his time at Ipswich ended. He deserved a better send-off for all he gave them.

[NiftyNick]

He’s one of those players who seemed destined for a top-tier career. Still, he gave us some great memories.

[Sir Magpie]

Alan Judge’s career has been an emotional rollercoaster to follow. When he was with us at Notts County, he was the type of player who could light up a match. His pace, creativity, and eye for goal were exactly what we needed at the time, and he quickly became a fan favourite. His performances earned him a move up the leagues, and it felt like we were watching one of our own climb the football ladder. It’s always a source of pride to see players who wore the black and white stripes succeed elsewhere.  

However, it’s heartbreaking to think about how injuries impacted him. That horrific leg break at Ipswich was a cruel blow, especially given how close he came to joining a Premier League club before it happened. Despite everything, he’s shown remarkable resilience and professionalism throughout his career. He’s a player who always gave his all, and I’ll always appreciate the memories he gave us at Meadow Lane. I hope he’s doing well these days, he certainly deserves it.
