Actor probably best known to me as loggo in boys from the blackstuff and Meakins in Scum was to be seen in various shows in the seventies and eighties like crown court and the professionals later on in his career featured in Brookside and Coronation Street. RIP

I was only on his IMDB page last week as was looking up something relating to Boys from the Blackstuff, which I thought he was superb in and one of my all time favourite pieces of television.
Hadn't had an acting credit on IMDB since 2004.
RIP Alan

RIP, Loggo - perfectly cast in that role and was also excellent in The Acorn Syndrome. A sad loss.

Remember him well from Boys From the Blackstuff - quite a surprise to see him and Michael Angelis playing the heavies in a later series of Auf Weidersehn Pet. It was almost like their Blackstuff characters had survived the Thatcher years by going bad while the Geordies and their mates had come through with their honour more or less intact. Anyway, RIP Mr Igbon, always a welcome presence on TV, and I suspect quite an underrated actor.
