Alan Pardew was born on 18 July 1961 in Wimbledon, England. His father's name is Harry Pardew, while his mother's name remains undisclosed. Limited information is available about his early education and family background, though it is known that Alan completed his schooling in England.
Alan began his career as a professional football player. Before committing fully to football, he worked part-time jobs and also held a position in a Middle Eastern country, which he eventually left to pursue football professionally. He first played for the non-league side Corinthian-Casuals. In 1987, he signed with Crystal Palace for a salary of £7,500, where he contributed significantly, helping the club win the Zenith Data Systems Cup.
In 1991, Alan joined Charlton Athletic and played there until retiring as a player. His shift to management began in 1998 when he took up a caretaker role at Reading, eventually becoming the full-time manager. Pardew's managerial skills led to an opportunity to manage West Ham United in 2003 after he resigned from Reading.
Pardew helped West Ham gain promotion to the Premier League, but his tenure ended in 2006 following a poor run of form. He subsequently joined Charlton Athletic in 2006 but was unable to reverse the club’s fortunes and left in 2008 after the team suffered relegation from the Premier League.
