:''For the musician of the same name see Gary Holt (musician)''
'Gary James Holt' (born March 9, 1973) is a Scottish defensive midfielder is a former Scottish International player, who received 10 caps and scored 1 goal.[1] He currently plays for Wycombe Wanderers.
Holt came late to professional football, having had a spell in the army as a chef prior to joining Celtic. He did not play for the Bhoys first team and moved on to Stoke City. After a brief stay, Holt returned to his boyhood favourites, Kilmarnock, where he excelled in the Ayrshire team's most consistent period of success since the 1960s. He set up home in his place of birth with his wife in the Bourtreehill part of Irvine. Despite his excellent form with Kilmarnock, international recognition proved elusive, and Holt briefly explored the option of playing for Canada in 1998. However, it eventually emerged Holt wasn't eligible for Canada, and Holt gained his first Scotland cap a year later.
In 2001, Norwich City paid £135,000 for Holt. He was voted Norwich City player of the year in 2001-02, when he also collected a number of fans' awards, including the Capital Canaries Player of the Season trophy. However, after playing well in Division One for his first three seasons with the club and helping them win promotion to the Premiership in 2004, Holt's final season with Norwich City was a difficult one. He found playing in the Premiership difficult and struggled to adapt to the higher level. Manager Nigel Worthington was criticised by supporters for keeping Holt in the team too long and some supporters made Holt a scapegoat for the team's struggles. Holt revealed towards the end of the 2004-05 season that he had received anonymous hate-mail earlier in the campaign. In his four years at Carrow Road Holt played almost 200 games for the club.
Holt spent three years with Nottingham Forest, before being released at the end of the 2006-07 season. He subsequently signed for League Two side Wycombe Wanderers.[2]
Holt made his Scotland debut on 2 September 2000 as an 89th minute substitute against Latvia in a match that Scotland won 1-0. He kept his place in the squad for the next year and a half before he was omitted from after a friendly against France that ended in a 5-0 defeat for Scotland in March 2002. He was not capped again for two years when his final cap came in a 1-1 draw against Moldova in October 2004.
