The football club will pay a fitting tribute to Gary in the coming weeks.
Our sincere condolences to Gary’s family.

HYDE UNITED YOUTH 2, STOCKPORT COUNTY YOUTH 1
Hyde United became FA Youth Cup giantkillers following their dramatic Friday night victory against Stockport County.
With the second-qualifying round tie at Ewen Fields heading for a penalty shootout decider, substitute Aiden Butterworth held his nerve to score a 96th minute winner for the young Tigers.
And it sparked joyous celebrations at the final whistle and tears as the players from this close-knit group sprinted to the touchline to embrace badly hurt striker Oli Grey.
It was the serious knee injury Grey sustained late in the game that brought about 10 minutes of added time.
Tigers’ youth team manager Jack Pritchard praised the character of his players after they had fallen behind late in the opening period.
But goals from Fin Rorke, another substitute, and Butterworth, two 17-year-olds, helped earn a home third-qualifying round tie against Skelmersdale United, the one remaining hurdle before reaching the first-round proper.
“I can’t praise the lads enough for overcoming what was a very difficult challenge,” explained Pritchard.
And he was especially delighted for the substitutes who became matchwinners.
Prichard said: “I knew Fin and Aiden would be disappointed not to have started the game.
“I wanted to be in a position after an hour when we were still in the game and could send them on to win it.
“Fin scored goals like that every day in training and Aiden held his nerve.”
Pritchard praised Urmston lad Rorke, 17, a former Rochdale academy player, who has overcome serious injury.
“Fin has not long been back after having a bad anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. He has had a tough time, but this was a nice reward,” he continued.
Pritchard made one change from the previous round as Luis Cantello replaced Butterworth on the left wing, a tactical decision.
It was a case of both evenly matched sides cancelling out one another in the opening period which was played with great pace and intensity.
Hyde, who had only been troubled once when a cross from Stockport left-back Adam Owen looped over goalkeeper Jack Bailey and struck the crossbar, fell behind five minutes before the break.
A sliced clearance from a low cross fell invitingly to Tomas Kelly who could not miss from close range.
But Hyde came close to equalising in stoppage time when Alex Judd’s header from a corner was cleared off the line.
Prichard made a bold decision to substitute Carter Waters, the matchwinner in the previous round, after an hour and replace him with Rorke.
“The way Stockport were set up, you could tell they had watched us and that included nullifying Carter. But as I have always maintained, we have other strings to our bow,” he said.
Rorke had only been on the pitch nine minutes when he made it 1-1 with a screamer from 14 yards into the top corner after Stockport failed to clear a cross from the right.
The injury and loss of Grey minutes after the equaliser did not derail Hyde who had the momentum with them.
Macclesfield-based Butterworth was put clean through by Dilesh Patel in the 85th minute, but overran the ball enabling goalkeeper Josh Schofield to deny him. You had the feeling Hyde might have blown their chance of victory.
That was not the case as Butterworth was put through down the middle in almost identical circumstances in the 96th minute, but this time there was no mistake as he buried a shot low past Schofield to secure victory to the delight of the Hyde fans kin a crowd of 252.

After a visit from Tameside Council prior to the start of the FC United game on Tuesday we have new procedures to follow on match days.
The football club had made all efforts to ensure the match day experience for all supporters was as COVID safe as possible and to enable social distancing. This included,
All of this is has taken time and money to put into place. However, after the visit from Tameside, we have had to go to more expense and put in more work to adhere to the rules and regulations that have been imposed on us by Tameside Council.
And with regards the Social Club, new directives from Tameside, of which Hyde United Football Club do not agree with and beleive is less safe than the takeaway service we were operating, that means;
This means that we are no longer allowed to have drinking on the terraces, which will impact on revenue to the football club. You can only enter the Social Club if you have a table booked, when you enter you must wear a mask until you are seated. The only times you are permitted to leave your seat is to either use the toilet or leave the Socail Club.
You can still use the NoQ app to order drinks to you table, just ensure you enter your table number when you are placing your order.
We know this will disappoint many supporters, and we totally understand this, but for the football club to continue to operate and be able to play competitive games, we have to adhere to the current regulations and we ask you to assist us in also adhering to them. This has not just affected Hyde United, but our neigbouring clubs within Tameside, Ashton United, Mossley and Stalybridge Celtic. We are seeking clarification from Tameside Council on the new regulations imposed upon all clubs with regards Social Clubs, and we are seeking assistance from our respective local MPs.
We are also looking at every option possible to enable us to serve more people at tables on a match day, this includings creating a covered area outside the Social Club and sourcing more tables and chairs to allow us to do this, this will incur more expense to the club and may need permission from Tameside Council.
But for now we ask that you help us in maintaining social distancing and make the football club as COVID safe as possible by;
We know we can rely upon your help and support to ensure even more regulations are imposed on us, that may mean the closure of the Social Club or even worse the stadium itself.
Our young Tigers progressed into 2nd Qualifying Round of the FA Youth cup with an impressive 3-0 win over Southport.
They were scheduled for an away fixture to Stockport County, however the fixture has been switched to Ewen Fields with County not able to find a date for the fixture in the timeframe allowed by the FA because of first team games.
The fixture will be played on Friday 9th October with a 7:45pm Kick-Off at home at Ewen Fields.
Last time out they put in an impressive performance and will be looking to build on that performance against Stockport County. With a crowd behind them cheering them on it will give them that extra lift, so come down and cheer the young Tigers on.
Entry is pay on the gate; Adults £3 and Child £1.
The teabar will be open serving hot and cold food and drink.
Due to FA regulations that we were made aware of yesterday by the FA we will not be able to admit any AFC Flyde fans for Saturdays 2nd Qualifying Round FA Cup game.
Its unfortunate and something that as a club Hyde United FC do not agree with, but we have to abide by the rules and regulations imposed on us by the FA. The full details of the rules and regulations that are part of the DCMS guidance are at the bottom of this news item.
Unfortunately because the match is ETicket and those went on sale prior to receiving the E-Mail from the FA, some Fylde fans would have already purchased tickets. If you are one of those people, please E-Mail us with your Order Number from your purchase and your full name you used when you made your purchase, we will issue a refund asap. You can just reply to your confirmation E-Mail you received when you made your purchase.
We would ask that no other Fylde supporters purchase any ETickets and not to arrive at the ground on Saturday.
Any supporters that we can clearly identify as AFC Fylde supporters will be refused entry and/or asked to leave the vacinity of the ground.
We apologise for having to do this, but it is totally out of our control.
