Reaching the peak and falling from grace

Known as “poor man’s Neymar” Garry had reached his peak whilst playing for Galatasaray between 2017 and 2019.

He spent two seasons for the Lions, netting 13 goals in 61 games.

He quickly became a fan’s favourite at the TT Arena. He had two solid seasons with goals and assists. However as he became more and more familiar to Istanbul (nightlife), he gradually lost his place in the team.

Gala eventually shipped him to Al-Ittihad, making a decent profit.

His second time at the Turkish Superlig with Fenerbahce, wasn’t however as illustrious as his first; despite the fact that he scored 4 goals in 26 games.

Now at the age of 32, Garry is chasing the ball in the neighboring Greece, playing for Olympiacos.
