As one of the most successful English football strikers in the 1980’s/1990’s and the only Englishman who received the Golden Boot for his performance during the 1986 World Cup, Gary has become an internationally recognised sports broadcaster appearing on BBC, Eredivisie Live and Al Jazeera Sports.

As a fan of Orlebar Brown (particularly our Dogs shorts), we are very delighted to have him answering our Q&A. Enjoy.

BEACH OR POOL?

It definitely has to be the beach as I much prefer to swim in the sea. Barbados has some of the best beaches in the world! My particular favourite is Gibbs beach.

MEMORABLE HOLIDAY MOMENT?

A very memorable ‘celeb’ beach moment was back in 2000. I was on holiday in Sardinia with family when I spotted 2 paps snapping away. After a while I approached them and said that surely they had taken enough pictures by now to which he replied “sorry we don’t know who you are, but we’re taking pictures of Jon Bon Jovi who’s sitting next you”. Most embarrassing.

WHICH DO YOU PREFER: BAREFOOT REFLECTION, ADRENALIN ADVENTURE, PAMPERED LUXURY, RAVING UNTIL DAWN OR CULTURAL VULTURE?

Pampered luxury…I’m not looking for adventure on a holiday. It’s all about total relaxation for me.

WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO ON YOUR IPOD AT THE MOMENT?

At the moment Adele is top of my list, although I don’t get too much time to listen as the kids keep me constantly occupied.

WHAT HOLIDAY READING DO YOU RECOMMEND?

On my last holiday I read Stephen Fry’s autobiography, which was entertaining, funny, wonderfully written and extremely honest.

WHAT’S YOUR BEST BEACH OR HOLIDAY STYLE TIP?

Breathe in!

WHAT’S YOUR BEST BEACH OR HOLIDAY STYLE TIP?

My favourite item is the black dogs swim shorts! My boys absolutely love them.

WHAT DO YOU WEAR TO COMPLETE THE LOOK?

I’d like to try the t-shirts as I have only recently discovered the shorts and they’re such a great fit.

WHAT’S YOUR STYLE HOLIDAY NO-NO?

Speedos or thongs should never be inflicted on anyone whilst they’re on their holidays

WHAT SHOULD OB BE DOING NEXT?

The new store in Notting Hill seems to stock most things I need to look acceptable on holiday
