OGH has been released by Eastbourne Borough. At 37 he's almost certainly played his last game for a Sussex club.

Not the most talented player, but always gave his all for the Albion, and when things were really against us in the dark dark days, he was one of the few things to give us a bit of hope. Some great memories of him will last forever, and fitting that he scored the first goal at the Amex IMO.

Good luck Gary in whatever you do.

A player who really wanted to play for us at a time when we needed it. With Richie Barker I think that was one of my favourite forward lines.

I understand GH sometime reads these pages so hopefully he'll read this :

You were one of my all time favouritve players for the Albion - never gave less than 100% - good luck with whatever you do moving forwards. A true Albion legend.

Didn't he sign for us when we were playing at the Pissfield?

Which would make him one of the very select few to have played there, at Withdean and at the Amex?

Clung in there and barely played under Wilkins, but in typical Gary Hart fashion, he bounced back from the played a massive role in securing our survival under Slade.

No disrespect to forklift truck drivers, but he did well for himself in the end. Weren't we supposed to be watching someone else?

Used to be great when a close relative of his (was it his mum?) used to post on here as Summer9, or something similar.

All the best, OGH.

Maureen, I think.

A shame her first post was in support of Spurs

373 Albion appearances, according to Wikipedia.

As far as I can see, only Peter O'Sullivan, Des Tennant, Glen Wilson and Norman Gall have ever made more appearances from the Albion, all members of the 400 appearance club. Amazing stuff from the £1000 man.

Total legend. Loved it when on his 300th (I think) game against Millwall he popped up with a really late goal to win it. One of the few times I got an autograph before the game at Withdean and he signed the programme, not a bad game to get his scribble! When we buy a house I have been promised a games room with football theme so that will be up on the wall

If he packs it in altogether it would be nice if the club offered him some sort of role at the club.

I thought that he had moved back to Essex. He did well for us for very little cost, thanks for the memories and hope you have luck in whatever you choose to do.

I will never forget the partnership he formed with Llyod Owusu to keep us in L1. Imagine where we'd be now without that?
