Gary Christopher Phillips (born 20 September 1961) is a retired football goalkeeper who is currently Youth Development Phase Goalkeeping Coach at Crystal Palace. He last managed Hemel Hempstead Town.
He started his career as a schoolboy at Southampton before moving to non-League Chalfont St Peter in 1978. He moved to Brighton & Hove Albion the same year. Phillips joined West Bromwich Albion in 1979, but failed to make an appearance in two years. He dropped back into non-League football signing for Barnet in 1981 before being sold to Brentford for £5,000. He then joined Reading, where he was loaned out to Barnet and Hereford United.
Phillps rejoined Barnet on a permanent basis in 1989, where he eventually became player-manager in 1993. Thereafter, he took on the role of player-manager at Aylesbury United from March 1996 to November 1997 and from October 1999 to November 2001. In between appointments at Aylesbury, Phillips had a spell playing for Aldershot Town.
Phillips had stints at managing the teams at Hemel Hempstead Town (in 2001) and Grays Athletic (2008–09 season), before a short return to Hemel Hempstead Town in October 2009, before being sacked in March 2010. He has since worked as a goalkeeping coach at both Barnet and Stevenage.
