"Today we received news that Gary Ablett had passed away from non hodgkins lymphoma. It’s a sad day for the PRSS and the world losing a great man, fantastic footballer and a brilliant father.
Gary Ablett worked in New York with Albertson SC and the PRSS for two years 2000-2002. He worked with many Albertson boys teams and made a lot of friends during his stay. He also played for LI Rough Riders in the twilight of his career after playing for Liverpool. Everton and Birmingham in the English Premiership.
Paul and Gary were best friends as kids and spent millions of hours together kicking a ball around.
Our love, prayers and condolences go out to his wife Jacky and children Reece, Rylee, Scarlet.
Rest in peace "Gazza"...gonna miss you"
