Never gave less than 110%. My lad has still got his Ooh Gerry Gerry "T " shirt somewhere in our loft, together with home programmes, Chronicle, Green 'Un and Sunday newspaper from the Season before we were promoted and the sole Season we spent in the Premiership. I keep meaning to get up there and find them. They'll make great reading and bring back some happy memories. Sadly Tags wasn't part of all that having moved to Bolton a couple of seasons before we went up. A great servant and like Brendan O'Connell still has a massive soft spot for the Club as we learned when they had a pint with us and John Dennis in the Hilton Hotel prior to the FA Cup Semi at Wembley in 2008.
nothing better than a bag full of beaks 'n' feet from the dollar nosh when you were coming back from a sesh down wanchai
Played part of the season with that cast on his arm as I recall. Fans held Gerry in high regard and the Club shop started selling "dummy" arm casts for supporters to wear, which they did in good numbers. When he joined us he was only 20 years old which back then could have appeared to have been a gamble but credit Mel Machin who had been his Manager at Manchester City who had the foresight to know what he was bringing in. Bit like now as well. Signed him for peanuts and then sold him to Bolton some five years later for their then record fee of £1.5 million.
Never knew that. We would have still made a healthy return on what we'd paid for him I would imagine though.?
I still feel them man love for Gerry. When Matty James got running last season I thought his running style was quite Taggart-esque. Sent from my iPad using Barnsley FC BBS Fans Forum
