A real Albion legend, probably the hero of Withdean. I'll never forget the goal he got against Tranmere when we won the League One Championship in 2002. It was a typical Withdean night, pouring with rain. Tranmere and a certain Jason Kumas had been bossing the game, Tranmere were also promotion rivals. Mid way through the second half Harty picks up the ball just inside the Tranmere half, he starts a run, then from outside of the box he hits the ball will his weaker right foot, the ball flies past the keeper and Withdean erupts !

Thanks for the good times Gary, you will live long in our memories.

'When the time comes and I leave the building for the last time, there will be sadness but great pride also, I will be leaving a special club'

I am not an emotional man but that brought a lump to my throat.

Harty you are an Albion legend and all fans are grateful for your contribution to the club.

All the very best in your future endeavours whether that be as a player or coach.

Agree with all this.

100% top bloke, good luck Gary in whatever you do.

Hope he gets on the pitch today, the team have done their job and won the league, so I think Gus could afford a bit of sentiment and let Gary come on and say goodbye.
If he does I hope the entire stadium stands for one last rendition of ohhhhhh garrrrry haaaaart !

 

[Oscar]

I ALMOST put a sentimental bet on a OGH last goal today but thought better of it. I hope he gets on and plays at the Amex in the SSCF.

Gary is and will always be one of my favourite ever Albion players - a beacon of hope in our dark days and still an inspiration on and off the field in happier times.

All the best Gary.

 

[Hotchilidog]

A terrific servant to the club and a fine example for any young player at the club. All the best for the future Harty.

I feel sad to be say goodbye to my favourite Albion player in all my years as a supporter. Has made more comebacks than Frank Sinatra and his "My Way" tributer at his Testmonial Dinner was truly apt.

I hope he gets to play today and maybe start next Saturday for the 300 starts.

OGH LEGEND

I remember when he broke his leg at P`boro in an pretty innocuous challenge.
I think he just landed awkwardly after going up for a high ball if memory serves me right.

He is one of those players that fans love. Never shirked a tackle, never quit in a game and appreciated what he had and never ever took it for granted.

Always gave the best of himself.

Top Albion man.

 

[Flavor Flav]

Get him and Gordo to lift the trophy today. Best of luck Harty

Get him and Gordo to lift the trophy today. Best of luck Harty

Absolutely ridiculous suggestion and one I am sure Gary Hart himself would be embarrassed by.

That said, as much as I never rated him as a player, I wish him all the best.

 

[GT49er]

He's played for the reserves a lot this season - and I thought there might be a role for him there again next season, where as an experienced and committed player he could set an example to, and bring on youngsters as they graduate to the reserves. But, it is not to be - so good luck Harty. Hope something turns up for you for next season, and you have some more success before your playing career ends.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

OGH I salute you. All the very best for the future, your legend status is assured.

I can with true honesty state

Thank you for some good memories OGH. I hope you come back to the Club soon in a support/coaching role. If Charlie can do it, then so can you.

 

[attila]

Harty - really hope you get on today so we can give you the send off you deserve from the PA box. If not, all the very best for the future!

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Great player until a couple of years ago and great pro through-out. Thanks for the 13 years and good luck to him for the future. Sounds like he could make a useful staff member one day but we'll see.
