Garry Flitcroft
| Date of birth | 06 November 1972 |
| Place of birth | Bolton |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 77 kg |
| Height | 1.83 m |
| Position | Midfielder |
A near-ever present for Blackburn Rovers in 2000-01, Garry was something of an unsung hero and his value as a defensive organiser only became apparent in his absence. Captain of the team, he provided bite and a physical presence in midfield where he generally performed in a role just in front of the central defenders. He became more adventurous in the second half of the campaign and pushed forward to score vital goals in the FA Cup win over Bolton Wanderers and the 2-0 victory over Huddersfield Town.
Garry is the brother of former Preston North End midfielder, Dave Flitcroft.
Garry joined Sheffield United in January 2006 with a contract to June 2007.
