bloody hell. what a player, just hope a miracle happens

Sad news. Met him a fair few times and was always very friendly and good to have a pint with. My hero as a young lad , wanted to play just like him lol. I used to try and go for the intercept all the time

Very sad, a genuine all-timer, and someone who really cared passionately about the game. Wishing him and his loved ones all the best.

One of the best player's I ever saw. Those were the days of big names and big personalities not like today. All the best and thanks for some great memories.

Very sad and whilst he tried to put his stamp on journalism he was often ridiculed for his views.
The game needs more characters like him.
Great player to watch along with Harris and Hanley up there with the legends of the game.

Very sad my all time favourite Leeds player total class player who had all the skills.
Think that the club and rugby league should do something for him and his family.

Really sad news. I'm guessing that were leeds fans asked to name their best seventeen he'd feature in most picks. Absolutely untouchable at times.

Very sad to hear. A world class centre who developed into a world class stand off. World class not in some nonsense "he played for GB" way, but because he was right up there with the best. For those who never saw him play, there are some great clips of him playing for GB and scoring unbelievable tries as a teenager on the 1984 tour, and then loads after that.

I agree that the club ought to do something to help. Something with Hull FC would be nice if they're in.

Superb player for Leeds, one of the greats. Leading GB to stuff Australia in Melbourne in 92 is maybe the best GB performance in my lifetime.

He was truly world class. I always remember Laurie Daly saying how highly the Aussies rated him.

Wally Lewis actually named Schoey & Ellery as being the best 2 Brits that he played against in the test matches against Australia.
I can't disagree with that, as they were both world class players, and in both hemispheres too, and they both ripped it up in the ARL competition when they played over there

So sad to hear the sad news about Garry's health issues,It certainly doesn't look very good for him in the coming years

Awful news about Garry . I agree with all the above tributes .

Very sad to hear. One of the most exciting players I’ve ever seen. Just been watching all those breaks and tries he made and scored v N Zealand away when he was captain, brilliant.

I had a very brief chat with him in the summer and he seemed in pretty good form. Wish him all the best
