Wishing Gary all the best for the future.
All the best to our very own, Garry Maskell, who will be waving the flag for the 258th and the final time on the @EFL today at Chesterfield vs. Fleetwood Town. A journey that began in the parks of Southend-on-Sea and saw Garry officiate The FA Challenge Vase Final at Wembley Stadium in 2023, all the best for the future.
