RIP Gary, hope your at peace now, thanks for the memories sir.

I still cannot believe it, I am well and truly gobsmacked

 

RIP Speedo

Watching the goals and I forgot how many pens he scored for us. All great strikes apart from one v Utd.

 

His first goal against Villa brings back memories. Hierro scored a cracking og and was bloody awful that day!!

i've waited to post about Gary so I could upload this

 

 

Just a shame the sound doesnt work

 

RIP Gary you were a true Bolton and football legend

 

Speedo Speedo Speedo

There have been so many things said over the past few days that have really struck a cord with me.

 

Gartside, about nobody having a bad thing a say to about him because he hadn't a bad thing to say about anyone else.

 

Smiley (on Facebook) about if he realised how well thought of he was before his death.

 

He had a humility and work ethic about him that was very similar to the late great Nat Lofthouse. To lose two great ambassadors of the club within a year is truly saddening.

 

RIP Gary, I truly hope you have found peace with yourself.

I've not been able to post before today, as I've just been too upset.

 

I shed a few tears on Sunday. and was on the verge most of yesterday. Off up to the Reebok later to sign the book of condolence.

 

He was a nice bloke, I met him a couple of times when he was playng for us, always polite, happy to sign autographs and get his picture taken.

 

Watched him on Football Focus on Saturday, and was remarking how gorgeous he was looking, seemed to happy and full of life.

 

Terrible tragedy, I know it will all come out in the inquest, but all I can ask at the moment is Why??

in among st all the sad tributes etc

 

one thing did make me smile/piss myself

 

and that was this lads last minute home made tribute to Gary...

Was up near the Reebok last night, so went to see the shrine.

 

Very sombre, but its great to see how clubs come together in a time of tradgedy.

(Leeds, City, Newcastle, United shirts)

Very Sad news indeed.

 

Thanks for some amazing times

 

RIP

This seems a very apt way to show support, wonder if the powers that be at the Reebok will think of something similar.

That home made lettering is belting.

 

Next season's home kit should be like that.
