"And my goodness... it's gone way down to Swansea". (Wilfred Wooller - also a decent cricketer, Welsh Rugby international and all-round martinet)
RIP Sir Garfield. An inescapable name from my boyhood. Saw him bat just once (briefly) in a Sunday League game at Ebbw Vale in 1969)

Just posted this on the Racing forum :
Probably the most complete all round cricketer we have ever seen, fine batsman, great fielder and could bowl pace and spin.
First saw Gary at Mote Park Maidstone against Kent in 1971, funnily enough on todays date (17/7). Kent had a great side featuring Luckhurst, Denness, Knott, Underwood, Woolmer etc. The only Notts player i knew (i was only a little lad at the time) was Gary and he just had an aura about him, even though he didn't actually do much in the match itself he was the one who all of us kids (and most adults) attending were interested in for autographs and the great man obliged every one of us who asked with a smile and a friendly word.
A fine ambassador for the game as well after retiring as a player. RIP Gary and thanks for the memories.
