Very interesting re. him leaving Saints - he reckons they sold him and he didn't want to leave!
Also an insight into Uncle Mo's reluctance to part with money if he could avoid it!
I, personally, rated Gary very highly. Good in attack and very very strong in defence.
A 100% player who took some stick and battering over the years.
Next one up is Gary Schofield - pass the vomit bucket!!!! Won't need it because I wont be watching it.

Kris Rads spoke about Gary's leaving Saints in his book as well. Can't believe some stupid people still call him Judas. Thought he came across as a really nice lad

If you read Rad's book you will realise he is even more of a nice guy and to do the job he is doing now shows what a really denuine bloke he is as well.
Can understand a player born and brought up in St Helens not really wanting to play for us - it would work the other way as well so we have to accept it - so again full credit to him cos he was awesome for us

What job does he do now?
Didn't see the programme but totally agree with you on the point about giving him credit. It always used o make me laugh how people used to compare him and Paul Newlove, I don't think I ever saw him have a good game when we had Connolly playing for us lol

I think he said he is working with disabled/underpriveleged kids.
It struck me that he looked ill to some extent. He seems to have gone down to nothing. His speech was disjointed and he seemed tired or punchy or hungover......
Rad is his neighbour and best mate so doubtless he won't let owt happen to him but he definitely didn't look reet to me!

cheers bud, the impression I got from the advert was that he's someone who is thick as two short mars bars who has abused alcohol all his life.

Yes he's some type of carer - I'll have another look at the programme as I recorded it so I could make a dvd for my pal's daughter in New Zealand who just adores him!
I thought he looked ok Kittwazzer and his speech is normally like that, maybe he has a bit of a cleft palate or something like that

Thinking about it, that was possibly the first time I've ever heard him speak!
