Gary Daniel Liddle (born 15 June 1986) is an English footballer, who plays as a midfielder or defender for Carlisle United.
Liddle began his career with hometown side Middlesbrough. He was a regular in the academy sides and won the 2003–04 FA Youth Cup alongside the likes of David Wheater, Tony McMahon and Adam Johnson. Although he was handed a professional contract, he was not able to break into the first team.
In August 2006, Liddle joined nearby League Two side Hartlepool United. His ability to play in a number of positions across defence and midfield made him an attractive proposition and boss Danny Wilson was delighted to be able to prise him away from The Riverside Stadium. Liddle won the player of the season award for the 2006–07 season.
On 13 August 2011, while playing in a home league match against Walsall, Liddle suffered an injury, as his zygomatic bone became fractured in two places. He was able to complete the match, which ended in a 1–1 draw. However, he was sidelined afterwards. For his return to playing, he wore a protective mask.
On 19 May 2012, it was announced that Liddle was released from Hartlepool United after 6 years, causing many fans to question the club's leadership.
In June 2012 Liddle signed for Notts County on a two-year contract. Liddle stated that it was Keith Curle's desire to manage in the Championship that played a big part in the switch. "Keith wants wants to manage in the Championship with Notts. That's why I came here. Hopefully I can help him do that". He wore the number 8 shirt for the 2012–13 season. Before the start of the season Liddle admitted there was a challenge to earn a first team spot. "It's the most competitive squad I've ever been in, If I get the shirt I will have to play well to keep it and if I'm not in the team I'll have to work even harder in training to get in there."
