Alan McDade was the third man on the Moon, only the older generation really remembers this. So to be described as an Alan McDade suggests you'll be very successful, possibly orbit the earth, but the next generation will not know your name.
Father: You'll go far if you try hard my son, you may well be as successful as Alan McDade.
Son: Who?!?
Son: Who?!?
