May he rest in peace.
Sad news indeed. Wasn't he turning out for the legends up until a couple of years ago?
Either way. Condolences to all his family and loved ones

Haven't logged on for a while, but had to when I saw this sad news, great little player in that 80's team, often off the bench, and another that came through the youth team at that time I think, this is a real shock as he can't have been that old either, RIP Garry
Possibly his most famous appearance being to sub Ricky Villa off in the first FA Cup final match v Mancity, but stayed on the bench in the 2nd of the finals when Ricky scored 'that' goal.
Really unlucky with the car crash which effectively ended his career at Spurs when still relatively young, and probably never hit the heights he had when he moved on, and retired when only about 30.
Was only 60 when he died. RIP

Remember his goal against Hull in the 4th round 81.
He had a great shot on him.

RIP Garry. 
Thats really sad to hear. Way too young. Cracking little player but suffered from competing against Ardiles, Hoddle, Villa and Hazard. Then he had a car crash and never really recaptured his form of the 80/81 season although there were still some great games from him. Was at a 4'-4 draw with Southampton in 1980 when he scored a couple of crackers.
RIP Gary
Sad news remember him well.
Rest well Garry
Very sad news as he was a bit of a favourite of mine as a kid, a great impact sub as you always felt he’s be very direct and get shots in. Getting regular games was always going to be difficult against Hod, Ossie, Villa and Hazard but he was never the same after being badly injured in a road accident. Still a good player who played in my favourite Spurs team. RIP Garry

There was confusion a few months back when I wrongly posted that Garry Brooke had died... Turns out it was a guy called Garry Brooks who was part of the furniture at The Bricklayers Arms...

I feel bad now, but it reminded me of it the moment I heard.
Only 60.... Jesus!
