Steve Gillott


A late developer to the game Gillott soon found himself suited to life at the back where his hoof it first, ask questions later, clearance policy earnt him many admirers amongst fellow players. Hailing from the north, his father having Yorkshire roots, has given the player a more traditional style of play. Notorious in some circles for his uncompromising attitude and late tackles, Gillott was notably the only player to receive a booking in the annual CCS football tournament of '97 whilst playing for Jossie's giants.

Gillott still has much development to undergo before becoming the complete player, occasionally failing to fully commit to tackles and with work still to do on fitness. He is however a fair reader of the game and useful in the air. Expect to see improvement in his play this year as the season progresses and he establishes himself at the back.
