Hope he manages to overcome this

Best ever left back for City.

Never rerached the original peaks when he returned from Rovers.

I would agree with pete.
One of my favourite players ever to play for City.
I hope he gets over this. I'd love to see some sort of presentation to him during the season, a la the Stephen Napier/Patsy thingy last season.

Btw, Gaz was out in Bishopstown last Sunday. I hope the fuppin cold didn't make it worse !

Consistent,Solid and a very good full back for us over the years..pity he moved on to Rovers a few years back..anyway best of luck to the guy who always did very well when he played....

one of our best ever IMO, and a really sound fella too. I heard he'd been having injury trouble and the ops weren't having much success. Good luck to him

Yeah, I think that would be a nice touch. He deserves it alright as he was fantastic in his first spell with us.
