Could always spot Garths bugle and fondly remember him responding to Sparksy's prompts.

Yeah same.

Yes this for me too. I don't sit in the Grandstand so only ever actually heard Garth when listening on Argyle World.

Surely this is worth a minute of applause/silence on Tuesday? His mostly irritating bugle was iconic!

Yep.

You are absolutely right - this was one very special supporter. I hope I am proved wrong, but showing public respect for even the most exceptional supporters (and players) who have passed is an area where I think the club still have work to do.

Totally agree. A real part of Argyle history. Used to love hearing his bugle and the way Sparksy used to often mention Garth. So pleased his passing has been brought to our attention.

I took this photo of Garth when we played Exeter in February 2017.
I've also added my favourite to tonight's set on GoS: http://greensonscreen.co.uk/photodispla ... 19-01-19M1
Until recently he spent hours at the Tesco in Transit way collecting for the Poppy Appeal.
RIP Garth.

What a lovely man - I remember him playing in the Far Post every match, just before kick off.
A true Pilgrim!

I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere on here but sadly Garth died last night at the age of 99. An absolute legend of a man, I was priveleged to have known him and his lovely family. An Argyle superfan and a Dunkirk legend. RIP.

RIP Garth. I sat near him at HomePark in the Grand stand for many years.He always played the bugle better in the second half after he ate his pasty. God bless to a great pilgrim.

RIP Mr Wright. I can't recall hearing the bugle much in recent years but always made me smile when heard.
