Yes he was, his autobiography, co-written by Bridgend author Tim Johnson, is worth a read

Great keeper. Unfortunately if he made an error it was always on the box.

Unfortunately it was in the cup final. Or involved simply tossing the ball into his own net when trying to throw it out. Still better to be remembered than some nondescript keeper of the age.

RIP Gary, good on you trying to expose Leeds shenanigans under Revie, even if they were ridiculed by the vested interests.

RIP Gary.

Saw him play against us at Elland Road in 1970,in the 3rd round of the FA cup,when we ran the great Leeds side close losing 2-1, Mel Nurse getting sent off in the second half didn't help.

Leeds went on to the cup final against Chelsea that year, eventually losing in a replay at Old Trafford, it was a notoriously dirty game, if played today you would be lucky to see 10 players still on the pitch at full time.

I think they played Man United in the semis of the cup that year and there was no replays and it took three games.

I was at the Leeds game , and travelled back with the other Welsh keeper of the time who has also passed away not so long ago Tony Millington.

Sad news, one of the best goalkeepers of his era.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.
