Personal Life
Holdsworth has lived in California permanently since the early 1980s, and often mentions cycling as one of his favourite pastimes. He is also a keen aficionado of beer, with a particular fondness for Northern English ale. Such is his taste for ale that he went as far as experimenting with brewing his own in the 1990s and inventing a specialised beer pump named "The Fizzbuster" which, in his own words, creates "a beautiful creamy head". With ex-wife Claire he has three children named Louise, Samuel (who was named after Allan's father) and Emily; all three live in Southern California. He has a daughter from his first marriage to Angela Slater named Lynne, who resides in England. He became a grandfather in December 2010 when his daughter Louise gave birth to a baby girl named Rori.

So long time war of valiant men,
Was all to win a lady fair,
Shall I not learn to suffer then,
And think my life well spent to be,
Serving a worthier wight than she?”
