Gerry Ryan RIP

[Bluerover]

Very sad to read of his death at just 68.

Although he played for Bohs, as a Rovers fan I always liked him.

Tommy Docherty signed him for Derby then he went to Brighton helping them to promotion. He was also part of the Brighton team that took United to a replay in the Cup Final.

Always honest and worked his socks off when playing for Ireland.

Rest in Peace Gerry, God Bless.

Yeah a good little player. I remember him at Brighton.

Blimey RIP Gerry, he was a good footballer !!

RIP.
He absolutely hated Palace and with good reason. His career was ended by a horror “tackle” from Palace’s Henry Houghton (brother of Chris). It was absolutely horrible, no question. Some years later I played in a charity game where he played (just hobbled around). His leg was still badly scarred.
Suffered with I’ll health for some years.
A good player for “them” and the RoI.
