Ralph: Although not as fast as Doug Millward's record breaking 10 second goal against Newport County at Portman Road in February 1957, Garneys did score after just 15 seconds against Brentford earlier that same season. Brentford soon found themselves two down when Wilf Grant struck on 50 seconds!! (2010-07-15)

Stuart Woodward (Ipswich Town): Tom Garneys owned "The Dainties" sweet shop in Queensway for a time in the late 1960s. The back yard of the shop backed onto my back garden where Tom would hear me playing football and commenting on my own game, making reference to Ray Crawford, the striking hero of Town at the time. I would often hear Tom say in reply to my mention of Crawford, "he`s useless" which was, of course, friendly and amusing banter as he previously played in Crawford`s position for Town, a fact I didn`t know as an 8 or 9 year-old! Top man, very friendly and kind. (2008-12-04)

A Ross: Tom passed away in a nursing home this week- Tom RIP (2007-03-13)

gill jackson: I work in a nursing home and i look after tom, he is such a lovely man. (2007-03-01)
