Career

Kimble, along with his twin brother Alan, started his career as a trainee at Charlton Athletic where he made his league debut, going on to play nine times, scoring once. Both he and his brother then had brief loan spells with Exeter City before the pair of them joined Cambridge United on free transfers in July 1986.

Whilst brother Alan went on to spend seven years at The Abbey Stadium, Garry spent just over a year with the club, making 41 appearances, mainly from the left wing, and scoring twice. He was sold to Doncaster Rovers for £7,500 and went on to be a regular in their team, making 65 appearances with a solitary goal. [2]

After a brief spell with Fulham he signed for Gillingham where he played 48 games, scoring once before moving to Peterborough United. It was while there that Kimble had his finest moment as he scored the winning goal for Posh in a 1–0 Football League Cup win over Liverpool in December 1991 to catapult him into the national sports headlines. [3]

Following his spell with Peterborough, Kimble dropped into the non-League game played for a number of clubs. [2]

Management

Kimble's first step into management came in February 2004, when he was appointed Tilbury manager on a caretaker basis until the end of the 2003–04 season. [4]

Kimble left Burnham and was appointed assistant manager of Isthmian League Premier Division club Aveley in May 2010, where his twin brother, Alan was appointed as manager. [5] In April 2011 he became manager of Witham Town. [6] [7] Under Kimble's stewardship Witham Town enjoyed two promotions in three years to take the club from the Essex Senior League to the Isthmian League Premier Division, [8] although they were relegated back to Division One North of the Isthmian League at the end of the 2014–15 season. On 28 February 2016 he left the club after winning just two games out of their last 18 in the Isthmian League Division One North. In July 2018 he was appointed manager of Great Wakering Rovers. [9] He left the club in January 2019.
