GJ's career has spanned many different clubs with all levels of success and failures.
His rise to prominence with non-league Yeovil and their subsequent promotion to the football league brought him many accolades from his peers and he eventually arrived at Ashton Gate for yet another promotion for his team. We all know what happened in his first year in the Championship when City reached the playoffs only to lose to Hull City in the final.
Following years resulted in slow decline for BCFC and poor form led to his eventual dismissal by mutual agreement from Ashton Gate.
The last 2 years have not been too kind to our old boss and with possible eviction from the football league awaiting his current team, Northampton Town, I would like to wish him well and hope he does not suffer a return to non-league football.
We always referred to him as " our cheeky cockney chappy" and a return to success for a nice guy is something we should all wish for don't you think?
