I can truly say that it\u2019s an excellent read in which he makes clear just how much he loved his time at the Heed &#8211; in fact, he\u2019s headed the chapter \u201cIncredible Gateshead\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the book launch programme, Gary is conducting a series of \u201ctalk-ins\u201d throughout the places his career has taken him and the local event will take place at the Holly Hill Sports and Social Club, Felling on the afternoon of Sunday, 31<sup>st<\/sup> October \u2013 1:30pm to 4:30pm.<\/p>\n<p>Gary is bringing a guest speaker and no doubt the Heed\u2019s \u201cWembley team\u201d will be well represented.
