A favourite both among supporters and his team mates, Alby was a popular choice as the Club's double Player of the Year in 2009 following the most prolific season of his career. He scored 17 goals and notched countless assists as the Dons went within a whisker of securing back-to-back promotions.

The 6ft 3in striker agreed a new contract in December 2008 to keep him at stadiummk for a further two-and-a-half years, a reward for his consistently impressive form in the last few years.

When not exhausting defenders with his physical presence and tireless work-rate, Alby is an exploiter of mental fatigue with his intelligent movement and is always mindful of his surroundings. His creativity and fitness has also seen him employed as a central midfield player.

He signed from Hull City after spending a promotion season with the Humberside outfit. Made his name with Stockport County, where he made more than 150 appearances, including fulfilling a boyhood dream of playing at Maine Road while still a Manchester City season ticket holder. He even scored in front of the Kippax for good measure.

Aaron has also had spells at with Norwegian club Moss and Oldham Athletic.
