Allan Simmons (born July 27, 1957) was a finalist in Series 3. A computer programmer from London, he was the first player ever to win seven shows in a row, just being pipped to the post by eventual octochamp William Bradford. His sister, Valerie appeared in Series 4.
Away from Countdown, Allan is very heavily involved in the world of Scrabble, having been both chairman of the ABSP and its international equivalent WESPA (The World English-Language Scrabble Players' Association). He has edited Onwords Magazine since 1979, and is a three-time BMSC champion, one-time ABSP masters winner and the 2008 British national champion. He has represented Scotland at the World Scrabble Championship on numerous occasions.
