Career

He made his professional debut for the club but struggled to establish himself in the first team and was eventually allowed to join Cardiff City on loan in March 1985. He scored four times in seven appearances for the club as they were relegated. After returning to Shrewsbury at the end of the season, he was sold to Torquay United where he finished his professional career. [3] He later played for Barnstaple Town. [4]

Several of Nardiello's relatives were also professional footballers. His brother Donato played for Coventry City and won two caps at international level for Wales. [3] Donato's son Daniel played for several teams in the Football League and also represented Wales. Gerry's son Michael played for the youth academies at Manchester United, Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion but was released by the latter after being diagnosed with a severe case of osteitis pubis.
