As the bass player in the Bay City Rollers, Alan Longmuir was part of one of the biggest bands on the planet, racking up a string of hits in the 1970s.
But while 62-year-old Alan is living a quiet life in Stirling, Scotland, a bizarre 'fan' is posing as the guitarist in Spain and dining out on tales of pop stardom.
The Bye Bye Baby bassist admits he had his share of obsessed fans over the years but the fake Alan Longmuir is the first time anyone's gone as far as pretending to be him.
The second Alan Longmuir reportedly lives in the Costa Blanca in Spain and has been telling people he is a former member of the 'tartan teen sensations'.
The imposter bears an uncanny resemblance to the real Alan Longmuir and after telling a string of detailed stories about his time in the band and his personal life, the has managed to convince many that he's the real Roller.
But the suggestion that he's living the life of an ex-pat in Spain has come as news to the real Alan Longmuir, who says he is surprised to hear his identity has been 'stolen'.
'There are some real weirdos out there,' he said. 'I've had them all - from one girl who used to post cornflakes through my letter box every morning so I'd have my breakfast, to people who just follow you around.
'But this is the first time I'm aware of anyone else actually pretending to be me.
'Makes you wonder why someone would do it - after all, it's more than 30 years since the Rollers were famous.'
