Gary Nolan

Who is Gary Nolan?

Gary Nolan was an English rugby league player for Hull F.C.. Nolan was a substitute, and scored a try in Hull's 14-4 victory over Widnes in the 1990-91 Rugby League Premiership final at Old Trafford, Manchester on the 12 May 1991. He had previously scored the winning try in the semi-final against Leeds RLFC, leapt into the air to collect a bomb from Greg Mackey and taking the ball out of the hands of Leeds "star" All-Black full-back John Gallagher.

Nolan had been an amateur with Hull Dockers just six weeks previously. He made his mark in the Old Trafford game after entering as a 48th-minute substitute. He claimed the clinching try in the 14-4 win with just 10 minutes remaining when he stretched out an arm through a tangle of bodies. It was only his fourth first-team appearance and he enjoyed only a short career. He is now the manager of a food processing plant in Hull.
