pride of the west Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 If my ageing memory is right he got 3 or 4 for us whilst on trial, in a game that also featured Scott Brown and a lad called Mark Jones. Brown had just been let go by Everton, the other two by Liverpool. Brown was the best player on the pitch but Tinnion only had enough funds to sign one, so gave Gillespie the contract. When Brown wasn't offered a deal by Port Vale the following summer Tinnion then offered Brown a short term deal initially. Can't remember the opposition for the trial game but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Rovers. Gillespie was signed by wilson after the transfer window shut in march as it was back then. Sort of a pre contract agreement or something along those lines, ready for the start of the following season by which time he had been sacked.

I remember seeing Gillespie in Cardiff when we played Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingUp Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Was a talent in his younger days but a career blighted with various nasty and lengthy injuries unfortunately. The gas now feeding off the crumbs of the mighty fleetwood, says it all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
