Gansu Tianma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gansu Tianma (Simplified Chinese: 甘肃天马) is a football team who played in the Chinese Football Association Jia League.
Found in 1999, the club did not get promotion from the Chinese Football Association Yi League. In 2001, however, the club bought a position in the Jia League from Tianjin Lifei.
Paul Gascoigne (Simplified Chinese: 加斯科因) played four games for them in 2003, scoring two goals, before returning to England and later player-coaching Boston United, then going to Kettering Town where ultimately he was dismissed.
Gansu Tianma was relegated to the Yi League in 2004 and sold to DongGuan Dongcheng, who moved the club to the Hong Kong First Division League.
