Gary Holt
| Date of birth | 09 March 1973 |
| Place of birth | Irvine |
| Nationality | Scottish |
| Weight | 81 kg |
| Height | 1.80 m |
| Position | Midfielder |
Having featured regularly for Kilmarnock in 2000-01, Gary was the subject of a pre-deadline day swoop by Norwich City who beat off several rivals for his signature.
He is a hard-working combative player in the middle of the park - winning the ball and distributing it simply to keep his side moving forward.
Strong in the air, he also enjoys getting forward into the opposition penalty area to help out in attack.
Having confirmed their return to the Premiership, Gary signed a new two-year contract with Norwich City in May 2004.
He joined Nottingham Forest in a player exchange deal involving Mattieu Louis-John.
Gary's contract at Wycombe Wanderers was cancelled in July 2009.
