Huge congratulations to Gary on his 10 year anniversary. I think it's safe to say that when he called me on the evening of 2nd February 2005 that neither of us expected him to still be at the club ten years later. The next big anniversary will be 31st March 2017 - the 20th anniversary of his debut in goal!

During my time as a volunteer for the club, Gary was one of the most supportive people of what I did. I've done a lot of bits & pieces for him, research, a few bits of scouting, and even once acted as his assistant in the dugout for the evening at Northwood in a Capital League Cup match. We lost 2-0!

We've had some great times - the cup finals, the FA Cup runs, the play-off challenges, and whilst I've not seen a game for a few months, I'm confident this is our best squad under Gary's leadership and we'll be there or thereabouts come the end of the campaign.

He's always been approachable, even after the most horrible of games - and always been very honest.

Thanks Gary for the last 10 years - looking forward to the next 10 and beyond.
