    Sad News.

    I grew up watching Gary and his good but sometimes rugged Leeds team.

    R.I.P. Gary.

    That's sad. Can't remember him at his peak, as David Harvey had taken his place at Leeds when I started watching footie in 74/75 season.

    RIP indeed. Him chucking the ball into his own net has to be one of the all-time funniest moments in football.

    RIP Gary old lad, always felt a bit sorry for him, he was a good keeper (most of the time) but will always be synonymous with that and chucking away a chance of a cup final wi

    Rightly so, it should have been written the rulers you were allowed one free punch per game at him! :D
    Like then he went jumping in elbows flying then went down like he'd been shot, it wasn't that hard a punch!

    And at half time, the dj played 'Careless Hands' - scouse humour at its best.
