Bless him, he was something of an idol for me. I once asked my hairdresser (Yes, it was a long time ago) for a Gary Jones cut. RIP.

Always thought he was underrated as a player. I remember him fondly from my first couple of years watching the whites. Am I right in thinking that he'd been poorly for a while? RIP.

I always remember him for that superb Burnden evening when he bagged a hat trick against Man city.
His best game I saw him play was at Roker Park where he tore the Sunderland defence to bits, cant remember the score that day.
RIP Garry and thanks for the memories.

I was there as well. Sept 1976. 2-0 to us. Reid scored one of them.

Garry was astonishingly good that day.

There were only about 100 Bolton fans and we were put in an end with 1,000's of Sunderland fans. I've never been so scared.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

If one game Garry played in that'll stick in my mind more than any other, then it'll always be this.

Was talking to my mum.about him earlier. Apparently my grandma was shouting him for playing rubbish at one game when someone pointed out he wasn't playing. She probably would have claimed the team sheet was wrong.
Before my time but a name I heard from parents and grandparents. Should've lived a lot longer.

RIP.

Saw that from the Embankment. Two hours earlier I'd had a couple of my teenage teeth pulled and it made me feel a whole lot better!
RIP
