And when one user asked if he would be housing refugees, he replied “not yet”.
This was then followed up with a screenshot of an application to offer his home to refugees.
Now Gary says he has to first do an interview with Refugees at Home charity before earning final approval.
However, he told The Mirror he expect to welcome a refugee “within weeks”.
He also said he has no fears about inviting a stranger to live with him.
Gary told The Mirror: “I have had so much connection with refugees over the last couple of years.
“I have met scores of young refugees through football schemes and they are genuinely lovely kids and they appreciate any help they can get.
Gary says he has spent significant time with refugees already
“I’m sure it will be fine.”
The former footballer is also working with the International Rescue Committee to raise awareness of the refugee crisis.
He features in a new video about fish and chips. Released on National Fish and Chips Day (September 4), it shows how many British foods became introduced by Jewish refugees in the 16th century.
