Gavin Richard Skelton (born 27 March 1981 in Carlisle) is an English footballer who plays in midfield for Gretna in the Scottish First Division. He started his career at Carlisle United as a trainee. In 1997, after three years at Brunton Park he moved to non-league Workington Reds, and two years later joined Gretna where he still remains. In the 2006 Scottish Cup final versus Hearts, Skelton missed the crucial kick in the penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw. His miss denied Gretna their first major trophy, however, they still qualified for the UEFA Cup as a result of their run to the final.
