Loved GB, his switches of play from one side to the other and the applause they always generated is what I remember - his class just shone through.

I want to echo what others have said about best wishes to him and his wife.

Would love to have seen highlights of his freekick against Coventry in the rumblelows cup.  I was stood on the bar right behind the goal and he curled it right in the top corner. I think we won the first leg 1-0 but lost 3-0 away (Drinkall was iinjured for the first leg).

I was fortunate enough to be a 7 year old in the Main Stand that day. The first two goals were superb. Minimal
backlift. Maximum goalgasm.

I always use to sit on the beam in lower findus on the half way line, always remembered a deep speaking guy shout every 5 mins lol.  I'll be honest i'm struggling to pick out 1 from that era, i loved them all, i can definately say i was spoilt as a 16/17 yo.  I cant find any footage unfortunately of his freekick vs Coventry as it was sublime.

That Coventry game, was it the one where we won 3-1 at home, but lost 3-0 at Highfield Road. Kevin Drinkall hat trick after Rees had been sent off.

Agree with all the above. I wondered why Garry was not commentating anymore on televised matches. He was as good at commentating as he was a player. Top class.

Saddened to hear of his wife's diagnosis and wish her and Garry all the best.

It was Speedie who got Rees sent off at Highfield Road. Remember it like it was yesterday, we took several thousand and outsang Coventry all night - I remember a huge chorus of “can you hear the City sing” and you really couldn’t.
