Gary Leslie Rolph (born 24 February 1960) is an English retired footballer who played in the Football League for Brentford as a forward.
A graduate of the Brentford youth team, Rolph made 12 appearances and scored one goal for Brentford between 1976 and 1979.[1] His only goal for the Bees came in a 3–2 FA Cup second round defeat to Colchester United on 20 December 1976, a strike that still holds the club record for youngest goalscorer in the FA Cup.[2] Rolph was released at the end of the 1978–79 season and joined Isthmian League Premier Division club Woking. He later played for Billericay Town and Leytonstone/Ilford and top-scored for the former club during the 1981–82 season.[3]
