Playing career


Gorry began his playing career at Barnsley in 1975. Gorry spent two years with the club playing 34 times.[1]

In 1977, Gorry signed for Newcastle United for a fee of £50,000. He was seen as a big prospect but played only once, coming on as a substitute against Manchester City on Boxing Day.[2]

Gorry left Newcastle after one season but remained in the North-East signing for Hartlepool United on a free transfer. Gorry would have better luck at Pools as he won the Player of the Year award in 1979. Gorry made 59 league appearances for Hartlepool[3] and played eight times in cup competitions[4] across two seasons.

After leaving Hartlepool in 1980, Gorry played part-time for Shildon.[5] He later moved to New Zealand where he played for Rotorua City.[6][7]
