Gary Adey
Sad news to read of his passing, a huge contributor to the club both on and off the field. RIP

Re: Gary Adey
Great player sadly follows his back row colleague Dave Forfar from that era. That’s was the Tigers team I first watched .. with Peter Wheeler etc.
Gary subsequently was important to the club off the field too. In addition ran a very successful steel business in Loughborough.
Big life from the big man.

So sorry to hear this news, a wonderful.player, a valued committee man and director of Tigers and above all a really nice bloke. He will be missed.
Re: Gary Adey
Sad news indeed. RIP.
The man who picked up Chris Cotterill (Waterloo 10) and placed him neatly over his own goal line at the old clubhouse end.
I have a pint or two with Chris from time to time. At least one will be in remembrance.

Re: Gary Adey
Top Tiger! Best wishes to his family and friends.
Saw him in quite a few games and in his final game in the victorious Tigers’ team that won the John Player Cup at Twickenham. As a youngster, then these John Player Finals were great days out and the players celebrated winning by standing on a small platform at Twickers: Gary Adey always had time for the masses of Tigers’ fans and you could see the pride at bringing glory to Tigers in his huge smile. Thanks.

Re: Gary Adey
So sorry to learn of Gary's passing. A true Tiger from the first time he pulled on the shirt.
As others have said, a really top man who always had time for a chat with supporters and especially, former players.
RIP Gary.
