PAUL GIBBS
Born: 26 October 1972

Gibbs started his career at Norwich City and also had a spell as a youngster with Scunthorpe United before playing non-league football for Gorleston and Diss Town. He also played briefly in Norway and at Luton Town before joining Colchester United in 1995. After two years there he joined Torquay United, and then followed manager Kevin Hodges to Argyle a year later. A broken leg sustained in the last game of the 1998-99 season kept him out for several months and after returning to full fitness he was released by Argyle and moved to Brentford. Forced to leave Brentford due to the club's financial problems, Gibbs transferred to Barnsley and went on to play for Gravesend & Northfleet, Canvey Island and Weymouth before returning to Gorleston.
