Title: Skipper [Gary Wright}
Post by: Darren on March 17, 2008, 08:45:36 PM: I have been informed that Skipper (Gary Wright) is in hospital with a serious head injury, after having a fall at home over the weekend. I have been asked by his family to inform people of the above situation, as he is well known at the club. I will do my best to keep you all informed of any further news. I hope you will all join me and wish him a speedy recovery and see back at moss lane soon.

Post by: Longman on March 19, 2008, 07:58:07 PM: I don't know the man personally but can't help but feel saddened at this, especially with it being a fellow Alty fan. I hope that he pulls through and can once again follow his beloved Alty.

Does he wear an away shirt to alot of games and is quite small?

I think that you may be thinking of Steve Murray who is one of Skipper's best mates.
