BIOGRAPHY
Gary was a pacy, long kicking, wingman who had been a consistent player with Essendon prior to playing with Richmond. His time with Richmond was hampered with injuries which restricted his senior appearances. After leaving Richmond, he crossed to Werribee where he spent four seasons. He also had success in athletics running third in the 1969 Victorian Pentathlon event. In 1978 he won the Wangaratta Gift, foot race. He has also been a finalist at the Stawell Easter Gift. Gary now works with the Department of Agriculture and lives in the eastern suburbs.
