He was a member of the Austin Stacks team that won the 1977 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship, and of the Kerry county hurling team that won the 1976 All-Ireland Senior B Hurling Championship.[1][2] Scollard was paralysed following a car accident in 1978.[3][4] He died in February 2000,[3] and an under-16 hurling competition was subsequently named the Gary Scollard Memorial Tournament.[1][5]
