Having made approximately 300 appearances for Ridgeons League club Wisbech Town and scoring 152 goals – fourth on the all-time scoring list – since lining up for the first time aged 16 in the 1974/75 season, Gallagher, 47, bowed out last Saturday playing for the reserves with manager Stuart Webb and special guest Roy McManus coaching from the sidelines. During his illustrious career spanning more than thirty years, Gallagher played League football with Lincoln City, Peterborough United, Torquay and Wolves after first joining the ranks of the Fenmen at the tender age of 14 before turning full circle three decades later with Fenland Park again the backdrop. He also had spells in Ireland, Hong Kong and Scandinavia, playing alongside World Cup winning England captain Boby Moore in Hong Kong. Lots of memories and despite manager Webb's efforts to try and persuade Gallagher to line up for another year next season, he said that apart from the odd veterans' game and joining in training sessions, Saturday's match was his swan song. Next season, however, he will carry on his role of training Wisbech's youth squad hoping to build youngsters into disciplined and savvy players who might later develop their careers. "My ambition is to see one or two of the under-16 squad progress to play for Wisbech first team and even to go into League football," he said. Gallagher (pictured) began his own career under the watchful gaze in those days of Bert Roseberry. After all those years and just 24 hours before Saturday's match at Fenland Park, Gallagher said he would treat the match as just another game but was looking forward to concentrating on his role at youth level and trying to build on that. He also reflected on the nostalgic news that the Fenmen are about to sell Fenland Park after over fifty years of memories for fans saying that memories were hard to recapture and that to get fans to travel out of town to follow a team would require having a winning side. During his own career, Gallagher feels that he might have gone higher "had I been a bit sharper," but has no regrets over the way the dice have rolled. However one painful memory he would change was the semifinal FA Vase defeat of 1984/85 when Wisbech Town lost 1-0 to Halesowen Town in game three of their encounter, missing out on a place at Wembley. "It would have been special to see manager Roy McManus leading us out at Wembley and under the current rules of football, having drawn 1-1 here and 2-2 away, there would never have been a third game," he reflected. But life moves on and now Gallagher, with a healthy dislike of bad language and indiscipline in the game, promises to do his bit for football at youth level. "With young players, you have got to instil discipline and teach them the right attitude. At Wisbech, we don't allow swearing and insist on discipline since as soon as the players reach 18 they will be playing against men." Another thing Gallagher will miss is the banter, the camaraderie that over thirty years in the game brings. Gallagher himself will be missed. However things might continue sooner than we think – in the shape of daughter Ellie, who plays for Wisbech St Mary under-17s, and son Joe, who lines up for Wisbech St Mary under-14s. Essex Wolf 13-12-2005, 09:29 Gary Bellamy lives down Essex way I believe in the Braintree/Chelmsford area. He played non league football for both Chelsmford City and Brantree Town up to not so many years ago.As to what he is now doing, sorry can't help.

In recent years we've not had a squad of 'triers' such as these, thats for sure. They may not have been the most skillful, but at least they gave the impression they cared and wanted to win.

Knighted in Millennium Honours List, I believe, and occasionally seen on here. jayeff17 14-12-2005, 06:04 Gary Bellamy was manager of Chelmsford City couple of years back. peckhamwolf 14-12-2005, 18:38 Floyd Streete returned to Berkshire where I understand he is still a PE Teacher. I don't know why they don't get some of these guys on the pitch at half time reliving the old days, after all, the supporters love to sing about the old days so why not go the whole hog. wolfette 14-12-2005, 20:01 Floyd Streete returned to Berkshire where I understand he is still a PE Teacher.
