Gary Cooke is an Irish comedian famous as one of the stars of Après Match. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of media personality Eamon Dunphy, although he has also mocked Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker and TV3 sports broadcaster Trevor Welch.

From 2005 to 2007 he starred as Dunphia the wood nymph (Eamon Dunphy) and Fergie the Hair Dryer God (Alex Ferguson) in the comedy musical play I, Keano.

On January 31 2006, Gary Cooke partook in a New Year's Eve special of Celebrity Jigs n' Reels.

He is a good friend and pal of Jonny Zuko of early Sutton fame.

Currently residing in the 'I used to be a best mate' file is the man they call Derelict Hand, who once famously claimed he was funnier than Gary Cooke. This turned out to be the biggest laugh Derelict was to get.

Gary currently lives in Sutton, Dublin 13. Whilst Derelict was last seen somewhere outside "The Ramble Inn", Killester, barking at a parked car.
