Gary McGuire

James Gary McGuire (born September 30, 1938 in Campsall, in the parish of Norton, near Doncaster, Yorkshire) was an English professional football goalkeeper.

He started playing football as a 16 year old with West Ham United before going on to play for Walthamstow Avenue, and played in an [Amateur] International side in the Ugandan Independence events. Although born in Yorkshire, Gary McGuire joined Torquay United in February 1966 from Australian side Hakoah, taking his chance to replace Terry Adlington when he was out of the side with a broken finger. He had previously played for Walthamstow Avenue in the 1961 FA Amateur Cup Final.

Not only was he an excellent player but he was known for his good looks and popularity.

He went on to play 32 times for Torquay before leaving league football, playing in turn for non-league sides Bedford Town and Hastings United. While in Australia, he represented Australia and New South Wales.
