Fucking gutted - often spoke with him at VP and such a decent bloke - proper Brummie.

What a shame. How he never got a full England cap is a disgrace for such a talented player - the usual London bias back in the day.

A local lad who achieved immortality playing for the club he loved - HOITS

I thought it was "he's bound to score, Ga-ry, Ga-ry Shaw" as it scans better.

Tragic: the fragility of life.

RIP Gary & thanks for the memories. Terrible to think we'll never see him at the ground again with any of the other early 80s players.

Condolences to family and friends.
