Gary James Holt (born 9 March 1973) is a former Scottish football player and was a first-team coach at Premier League side Norwich City until July 2016. Holt first played competitively for Kilmarnock, making 138 appearances, before transferring to the English Division One side Norwich City, where Holt made 168 appearances. Holt also received 10 caps for the Scotland national football team, scoring one goal. Later in his career, Holt also played for Nottingham Forest and Wycombe Wanderers, before signing for Isthmian League side Lowestoft Town after an unsuccessful transfer to Colchester United. After retirement from football, Holt joined the Norwich City Academy, before being appointed manager of Falkirk. His tenure lasted until June 2014, when he returned to Norwich as a first-team coach.
Holt came late to professional football, having had a spell in the Army Catering Corps as a chef and played for the British Army team 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.
