Just seen that he's sadly been diagnosed with cancer. He was a bit before my time, but by all accounts made a big impression during his short spell at City. Hope he makes a swift and full recovery.

Hope he makes a full recovery. There weren't many players who made such a lasting impression in such a short space of time. 100% commitment and of the same mould as Mike Doyle and Andy Morrison. Nobody got past him. Was a calming influence on the kids of 81.

Terrible news.

A real warrior and fighter on the pitch that will hopefully stand him in good stead for this fight.

All the best to him and his family and lets hope he beats this fucker of a disease.

A bit before my time also,hopefully he can get through it.

Great player for us, what we needed at the time -if I remember bought by John Bond along with Bobby Mac and Tommy H - hope he gets the all clear soon

 

[KnaresboroughBlue]

Sad news, I hope he can beat it. He was my favourite player of the early 80s.

Get better GG, to many have died this year

Rotten news, all the best wishes in the world to him a true City legend, heres hoping Gerry tackles his cancer in the same manner in which he tackled his opponents.

 

[petrusha]

I remember him, and kismet is right, we haven't had many at all who've mae such an instant impact. A real old-school hard man but could play as well. Gave me a lot of happy memories in that short space of time. All the best, Gerry,
