My abiding memory of Leary is when he rattled the bar from about 35 yards out that night at Notts County in the relegation season!

He was one of the worst footballers I've ever seen, worked hard but wasn't even a very good ball winner and he couldn't pass wind.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Maybe the only GTFC player ever with the middle name Antonio.

My abiding memory of Leary is him throwing up in a televised match against Luton.

If I remember correctly did he not have a medical condition.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

He was a total shocker, and you also have to remember he was playing for us in one of our lowest ever league position so he would not have been very good had he been our star man!

I remember he never got anywhere near the ball, and when he did he had no clue what to do with it. I don't want to be too harsh - he was playing at a very low level in a very poor team but in my opinion at least,  he is right up there in the "worst to play for us" category without a doubt.

He was rubbish. It's a sad day when you go and watch your team, and it contains players that you watch and think they look no better than i was at their age as an amateur player. Where's the mystique and romance in that? The whole Newell/Woods period was the worst time ever supporting the Mariners. Hurst and Scott got rid of him as soon as they could, and then compounded it by bringing in Church, who was no better. I still shudder at the standard of football we had to endure in those grim times. Even as poor as we were last season for a long stretch, it still wasn't as bad as then.

Leary was definitely a low in player recruitment and easily one of the worst players to ever pull on the black and white stripes.

I have been watching a lot longer than a mere 50 years and I can say with some certainty that Michael Leary is one of the worst players I have ever seen. All about personal opinions of course.


He did put a big smile on my face when he knocked the mascots head off at Kettering though.

I remember when Jamie Clarke rugby tackled the Lincoln mascot away right in front of all the town fans.

I remember when we signed him some Barnet fan came on here and said you are definitely going down now you've signed Leary!
