Gerry Gow - RIP

[Bill]

Very sad news. We got him far too late into his career. He was an absolute legend.
R.I.P.

Very sad news. Before my time as a player, but you can see how highly regarded he was by those who saw him play for the club.

Loved him and was a pity we didn't get all 3 signings earlier in their careers, Hutchinson, Booby Mac and Gow were inspired signings.

Watching that reminded me how much i loved that kit, plus can't believe i could hear Dave Bennett getting the monkey chants, was fucking disgraceful, shows how far society and the game has moved on.

Very sad - Gerry Gow's name is inextricable linked to that brief flicker in 81 when we though City were on there way back...

Gutted. The contribution Gow made to the club can never be underestimated. He was solid as a rock, a true hard man but boy, he could play too. MCFC has been blessed to have been given his services. Rip Gerry

I had a mate who referred to Gow as Gower the whole time he was with us. Often used the think what the guys thought on the Kippax when they heard him!

Desperately sad news. He didn't have a long City career but he made a real impact. One of the players you don't forget. R.I.P.

RIP Gerry.
A banner at Wembley '81 typified his game. A Union flag with the word "Gerry" at the top and "Gow" at the bottom. In the middle, the flag maker had attached an "Animal" doll from the Muppets.

I expect the club will do a tribute on Saturday.
