As EGT’s Golf Ambassador, Gary leads our golf tours across England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland — starting with the great North West links of Lytham, Birkdale, Hillside and Hoylake, close to his Lancaster home.

Chris Rumph II
New Orleans Saints linebacker — a disruptive force off the edge who brings relentless energy to every snap.
Josh Blackwell
Chicago Bears kick returner — one of the most electrifying return men in the NFL, a threat to take it to the house every time he touches the ball. Brings that same electricity to EGT trips. What They Say John LeClair is a Philadelphia Flyers legend and one of the most feared power forwards of his era. A five-time NHL All-Star, he starred on the famed ‘Legion of Doom’ line and was the first American-born player to score 50 goals in three consecutive seasons.

Paolo Rossi (1956–2020)
Italy’s 1982 World Cup hero — Golden Boot, Golden Ball and the Ballon d’Or in a single, unforgettable summer, and a European Cup winner with Juventus. JP was honoured to spend time with “Pablito,” one of the great gentlemen of the game. Rest in peace, Paolo.
Paddy Crerand
A legend of two famous clubs — six years at Celtic, then Manchester United from 1963, where he won the FA Cup, two league titles and the 1968 European Cup alongside Best, Law and Charlton. Glasgow-born to Irish parents from Tyrone and Donegal, Paddy remains one of the game’s great characters, and JP was delighted to share a moment with him — and the Premier League trophy.
Bryan Robson
“Captain Marvel”
Manchester United’s longest-serving captain and, for many, the club’s greatest-ever player: three FA Cups, two Premier League titles and the 1991 European Cup Winners’ Cup, plus 90 England caps — 65 of them as captain. JP was proud to spend time with a true leader of the game.
Rocket Ismail & Coach Lou Holtz (1937–2026)
JP with two Notre Dame immortals at an Irish Consulate event in New York: Raghib “Rocket” Ismail — the most electrifying player in college football, 1990 Heisman runner-up and College Football Hall of Famer — and the late Coach Lou Holtz, who led the Irish to the 1988 national championship in Rocket’s freshman year. Two legends of the Golden Dome.
On the set of Mrs Brown’s Boys D’Movie
JP on location in Dublin during filming of Mrs Brown’s Boys D’Movie (2014), with the show’s two leads: Brendan O’Carroll in full flow as the one and only Agnes Brown, and Jennifer Gibney — Cathy Brown on screen, and Brendan’s wife off it — then reporting for RTÉ. The film went straight to number one at the box office.
Jean Butler
the Original Riverdance Star
JP with the woman who changed Irish dance forever: Jean Butler, born in New York to a Mayo mother, originated the female lead in Riverdance — that unforgettable seven minutes at the 1994 Eurovision in Dublin, opposite Michael Flatley — and co-choreographed the show that conquered the world. She had debuted with The Chieftains at Carnegie Hall at just seventeen.
Dennis Haysbert
JP with one of the most commanding presences on screen — President David Palmer in 24, Pedro Cerrano in the Major League films, Sergeant Major Jonas Blane in The Unit, and the trusted voice of Allstate — pictured at a USO gala, where Dennis was being honoured for his support of America’s troops.
Tony Richardson
JP with one of the finest fullbacks the NFL has known — undrafted out of Auburn, then sixteen seasons of doing the game’s hardest job: three Pro Bowls, two All-Pro selections, and nine straight seasons blocking for 1,000-yard rushers, from Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson to Adrian Peterson and LaDainian Tomlinson. A Chiefs Hall of Famer and a Walter Payton Man of the Year.
Anthony Mason (1966–2015)
JP with “Mase” — the heart and muscle of Pat Riley’s great Knicks teams of the nineties, a Queens kid who willed himself from the playgrounds to the 1994 NBA Finals, the league’s Sixth Man of the Year in 1995 and an All-Star in 2001. Gone far too soon at 48, but never forgotten in New York. Rest in peace, Mase.
Iran “The Blade” Barkley
JP with the Bronx’s own three-weight world champion — the only man ever to beat the great Thomas Hearns twice: by knockout for the WBC middleweight title in 1988, in The Ring’s Upset of the Year, and again on points for the WBA light-heavyweight crown in 1992. His 1989 war with Roberto Durán was The Ring’s Fight of the Year. A fighter’s fighter.
Kenny Anderson
JP with one of New York’s great point guards — a Queens schoolboy legend at Archbishop Molloy, a star of Georgia Tech’s “Lethal Weapon 3” Final Four team, and the No. 2 pick in the 1991 NBA Draft. Kenny was an All-Star with the New Jersey Nets in 1994 and played fourteen seasons in the league.
Clark Gillies (1954–2022)
JP with a giant of the Islanders dynasty — the power forward of the “Trio Grande” line with Bryan Trottier and Mike Bossy, captain of the Islanders at 23, and a winner of four straight Stanley Cups from 1980 to 1983. Clark’s No. 9 hangs in the rafters and he entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2002. Gone in 2022, but a legend on Long Island forever.
Najee Goode
JP with the West Virginia Mountaineers linebacker who became a Super Bowl champion — First-team All-Big East at WVU, a fifth-round draft pick in 2012, and five seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, winning Super Bowl LII against the Patriots. Caught up at a Mountaineers game and back home in New York.
A Night with the Fighters
Micky Ward & Spike O’Sullivan
JP (second from left) between two warriors: “Irish” Micky Ward (left), the Lowell legend whose trilogy with Arturo Gatti produced three straight Fights of the Year and whose life story became The Fighter, and Cork’s Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan (third from left), the Celtic Warrior who has carried Irish boxing to Madison Square Garden and beyond.
Mountaineer Legends
Najee Goode & Pat White
JP with two West Virginia greats and friends from the Puerto Rico tourism world: linebacker Najee Goode (centre left), a Super Bowl LII champion with the Eagles, and quarterback Pat White (second from right) — the first quarterback in college football history to start and win four straight bowl games, MVP of the 2008 Fiesta Bowl rout of Oklahoma, and still the NCAA’s benchmark for rushing quarterbacks. WVU retired Pat’s No. 5 in 2026.
Vin Baker
JP with one of the NBA’s great power forwards — the No. 8 pick in the 1993 draft out of the University of Hartford, a four-time All-Star with the Milwaukee Bucks and Seattle SuperSonics, and an Olympic gold medallist with Team USA at Sydney 2000. Vin later returned to the league as a coach with the Bucks — a class act on and off the court.
Shane Spencer
the Roy Hobbs of September ’98
JP with Shane Spencer, the Yankees outfielder who authored the most astonishing month in baseball memory — ten home runs in 67 at-bats in September 1998, three of them grand slams in ten days, a Sports Illustrated cover, the nickname “Roy Hobbs,” and a place in three straight World Series-winning Yankees teams. Some men heat up for a week; Shane Spencer became a legend in a month.
Brendan Cummins
Tipperary’s Great Goalkeeper
Two of Ireland’s great trophies in one New York pub — JP (left, with the Liam MacCarthy Cup) alongside Brendan Cummins (with the Sam Maguire). The Ballybacon-Grange man guarded Tipperary’s net for nineteen seasons, retired with more championship appearances than any hurler in history, and won All-Ireland medals in 2001 and 2010, five All-Stars and nine Poc Fada titles. In 2025 he managed Tipp’s under-20s to All-Ireland glory — some men mind the net, Brendan Cummins minds the whole tradition.
Ronan Maher
Tipperary’s All-Ireland-Winning Captain
JP holding the Liam MacCarthy Cup with the man who lifted it — Ronan Maher, captain of Tipperary’s 2025 All-Ireland champions. Maher led from centre-back as Tipp stormed back to beat Cork in the final at Croke Park, took Man of the Match, and brought the cup to New York as guest of honour at the Tipperary dinner dance. Three All-Ireland medals, three All-Stars — and a Thurles Sarsfields man.
Antonio Davis
NBA All-Star (2001) and one of the most respected big men of his generation. Antonio Davis played 13 NBA seasons — Indiana Pacers, Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks — after beginning his professional career in Greece and Italy, and built a reputation for strength, intelligence and leadership on and off the court. He later served as President of the NBA Players Association and as an ESPN and SiriusXM NBA analyst. In 2025 he became President & CEO of the National Basketball Retired Players Association — the Legends of Basketball — representing more than 2,000 NBA, WNBA, ABA and Harlem Globetrotter legends.
