List of Gillingham F.C. players

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Steve Bruce and Tony Cascarino both made over 200 appearances for Gillingham before going on to play at the highest level.

For the current Gillingham first-team squad, see Gillingham F.C.#Current squad.

Below is a list of footballers who have played for Gillingham. It includes all players who have made at least one appearance for the club in the Football League.

Jock Robertson, the team's captain when Gillingham first entered the League in 1920, made a total of 388 appearances, a club record which stood for nearly forty years until overtaken by goalkeeper John Simpson, who went on to become the first Gillingham player to make over 600 appearances. Another goalkeeper, Ron Hillyard, set a new record of 655 appearances in the early 1990s, although Simpson still holds the record for appearances solely in the Football League. Nicky Southall has the highest appearance total of any current Gillingham player, having played over 320 games in three separate spells at the club. The club's all-time top goalscorer, with 149 career goals, is Brian Yeo, who also shares the record for the most League goals scored in a season with Ernie Morgan. The club recognises nine players as having been capped while on Gillingham's books, but some sources state that goalkeeper Freddie Fox had left the club by the time of his sole England cap.

[edit] Players with 50 or more appearances

Appearances and goals are for matches in the Football League, FA Cup, Football League Cup, Football League Trophy, Football League Third Division South Cup and Football League Group Cup. Substitute appearances are included. Players marked with a double asterisk (**) also played for the club prior to 1920 or between 1938 and 1950, when the club played in the Southern League and Kent League rather than the Football League,^[1] but appearances in these competitions are not included in their totals. "Caps" refers to full international caps gained while on the books of Gillingham. Statistics correct as of 10 April 2008. Players marked in bold are still playing for the club.

^ The claim that Fox gained an England cap whilst with Gillingham is disputed. The history page on the official Gillingham FC website lists Fox as having gained his one England cap whilst with the club, however EnglandFootballOnline states that he was a Millwall player at the time of his cap. Triggs (2001) states that he was transferred from Gillingham to Millwall in April 1925, a month before his England appearance. Triggs (1984) gives the date of the England match as May 1924, but this appears to be an error as every other source gives 1925.
