He made over 500 league appearances in an eighteen-year playing career, during which he became known as a no-nonsense, tough-tackling defender, hence his "Rambo" nickname. CareerIn the 1977–78 season, at the age of eighteen, Briggs signed for Middlesbrough but didn't make any first-team appearances for the club. Later that season, he moved to Oxford United. The fee was settled at the Football League's first-ever transfer tribunal.[1] Briggs spent eleven years at the Manor Ground, where he received the nickname "Rambo" and became a cult hero, winning the club's "Player of the Year" accolade three times. He formed a successful central-defensive partnership with club captain Malcolm Shotton as United won three trophies between 1984 and 1986: the Division Three championship in 1983–84, the Division Two championship the following season, and the League Cup in 1986.[2] In May 1989, after 418 league games and 18 league goals for Oxford, Briggs moved back north to Blackpool, where he saw out the rest of his career. "'Pool looked a club going places – and I want to go with them," he said at the time.[3] In the 1991–92 season he made 26 appearances in a start-stop season, and was voted the club's Player of the Month for September, October and November 1991.[4] The 1993–94 campaign ended in nail-biting fashion: a final-day 4–1 victory over Leyton Orient at Bloomfield Road meant the Seasiders avoided relegation by one point.[5] In 2002, Briggs played for Bispham Juniors,[6] whom he later managed.[7] In March 2005, Briggs unveiled Executive Box 28 at Oxford United's Kassam Stadium in his name.[8] References1. ^Past Players at OxfordMail.co.uk 2. ^Famous matches: Oxford United 3–0 Queens Park Rangers, Milk (League) Cup Final (20 April 1986) 3. ^{{cite book|last=Gillatt|first=Peter|title=Blackpool FC On This Day: History, Facts and Figures from Every Day of the Year |publisher=Pitch Publishing Ltd|date=30 November 2009|isbn=1-905411-50-2}} 4. ^Blackpool Evening Gazette, 6 December 1991 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/news/2014/may/the-past-last-day-survivals/ |title=The Past: Last Day Survivals |publisher=Blackpool F.C. |date=2 May 2014 |first=Mark |last=Ridgway |accessdate=19 December 2018}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/news/it-s-prize-day-at-last-for-gary-1-400651 |title=It's prize day at last for Gary |newspaper=Blackpool Gazette |date=14 March 2002 |accessdate=19 December 2018}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.where-are-they-now.co.uk/footballer/Briggs+Gary/5784 |title=Gary Briggs |publisher=Where Are They Now? |date= |accessdate=19 December 2018}} 8. ^Past News Page Checkout www Sources
