Everything about Scot Gemmill totally explained
Scotland 'Scot' Gemmill (born
2 January 1971 in
Paisley) is a
Scottish former professional
football (soccer) player. He played as a midfielder, most recently for the now-defunct club
New Zealand Knights. He is the son of former Scottish international footballer
Archie Gemmill.
Domestic career
He started his career at
Nottingham Forest under the legendary
Brian Clough and played there for nine years, making nearly 250 appearances before moving to
Everton in 1999. By 2004, Gemmill was finding it harder to keep his place in the Everton team, and was loaned out to
Preston North End, where he featured seven times. Shortly afterwards, just three appearances short of 100 for Everton, he left Merseyside to join
Leicester City. After two years with
The Foxes, where he played just seventeen times and hadn't featured for a year, he joined
Oxford United in March 2006 as player-coach. Gemmill stayed for the final few weeks of the season, making one appearance. Shortly afterwards, he joined
New Zealand Knights. He has now retired from football and resides in New Zealand with his wife.
International career
Gemmill featured in several
Scotland squads but found himself largely on the fringes, and most of his caps came as a substitute; he only managed two 90-minute appearances for his country. Gemmill was part of the Scotland squads for the
1996 European Championships and
1998 World Cup but failed to make an appearance in either, a situation he described for the latter as "bittersweet" and "heartbreaking" .
He won 26 caps for
Scotland and scored one goal, against
Hong Kong in a
Reunification Cup match in 2002. Gemmill played his last game for
Scotland in April 2003, in a 2-0 home friendly defeat to
Austria, as a half-time substitute.
