About Gary Kelly (footballer, born 1974)
Gary Oliver Kelly is an Irish former footballer who played his entire professional career with Leeds United. Seen by a crowd of 26,440, Celtic won this match, which generated nearly £1 million in receipts – making up the majority of the total £1.5 million which was raised to open a cancer centre in his native Drogheda. Kelly, the youngest of a family of 13, originally started playing football as a striker, and was reasonably successful in this position for Home Farm. He had played just twice in the 1991–92 season, when Leeds were champions of the last old Football League First Division before the FA Premier League was created, and did not qualify for a title winner's medal. But Kelly forced his way back into the Leeds first team, in 1999–2000, making the right back role his own, despite the signing of Danny Mills in the summer of 1999.
