Queen, Gerry Gerry came from Penilee in Glasgow, he was a friend of my brothers. I knew his sister Frances. We lived beside her later, when we were married, Crookston Road for her, Crookston Ave-for me. I believe my brother William visited him when he was playing for Chrystal Palace.

Queen, Gerry My good friend Mike Kelly came out to South Africa in the mid 80s. Before leaving Scotland he met up with Gerrie Queen who then recommended him to Arcadia Shepards. Mike did well at semi-pro level before having a successful coaching career. All through one recommendation.

Queen, Gerry St George's Primary School about 1951 I fancied myself as the fastest runner in school. Sports day 🤔 got left standing by a kid who was a year younger - Gerry Queen. I recollect when he joined St Mirren he bought a little MG sports car. Penile lad made good.

Queen, Gerry When I was 11 (1972), my dad took me to Wimbledon dog stadium one grey October Wednesday morning to watch his mutt time-trialing. Just along from us was Gerry Queen and a few other Palace players of the time who, i found out, had shares in a dog. Dad introduced me to Gerry; I was bowled over and deeply impressed that MY DAD knew Gerry Queen [through their mutual interest in dog racing]!!


Queen, Gerry I met my namesake at Norbury Park cica 1970 when he was managing a Sunday League side. I got my photo card signed by him and have it to this day. Still a Palace fan and very pleased to be at the match on Saturday 5-0 v Leicester and almost certainly securing our survival in the premiership 2018/9

Queen, Gerry Gerry and I had a few games as opposing coaches, I always enjoyed pitting wits against him, a true gentleman. Eddie


Queen, Gerry Gerry Queen is my uncle by marriage as he was married to my mum’s sister and his 2 bits are my cousins. I remember as a kid going to their house in the Uk as well as in South Africa as I moved to Zimbabwe.
