- Garry Nelson is a former English footballer who played as a striker and left-sided midfielder for Southend United, Swindon Town, Plymouth Argyle, Brighton, Charlton Athletic and Torquay United (as player/assistant manager) between 1979 and 1997. Garry was named in Plymouth Argyle's team of the century. Despite playing more than 600 games in The Football League, Nelson is perhaps best known for writing the two books, "Left Foot Forward" and "Left Foot in the Grave". The books are both written in diary form, chronicling a season with Charlton (1994-95) and Torquay (1996-97) respectively. The books have been acclaimed as showing the real life of "ordinary" professional footballers, and became best-sellers. After retiring from the game in 1997, Nelson became commercial executive of the PFA. He is still playing, regularly turning out for Old Southendians in the Southend Borough Combination Veterans League and Charlton Athletic Vets.
