Sad news that former Coventry City striker Gerry passed away earlier today, aged 75.

Signed by by Noel Cantwell from Ipswich in 1967 Gerry played a key role in keeping the Sky Blues in Div 1 in their inaugural season in the top flight.

Between 1967-69 Gerry made 34 league & cup appearances for the club before joining Southern League Margate.

He won several US international caps by virtue of being born in New York and later played for Nuneaton Borough.
