Default Parsing Number from Text

I have multiple columns and rows of data.
In some of my rows, there will be data in column AL,that contains a line
like the following:
USD72990,48/ /BNF/GBP37238.14 B/O: AMEX

Is there a forumla I can use that will add up all the figures that follow
the "GBP" in column AL?

For example:
In cell AL 19 I have the following: USD72990,48/ /BNF/GBP37238.14 B/O: AMEX
In cell AL 50 I have the following: USD772,27/ /BNF/GBP391.38 B/O: AMEX

I'd like a formula that will give me the result : 37,629.52 (the addition of
the numbers following the GBP in column AL)

Any suggestions?
