Edit ProfileCareer
With Stoke"s 1987-1988 campaign coming to a close with nothing to play for manager Mick Mills decided to give youth team players some first team experience and Gibbons made his debut a substitute in a 1–1 draw at home to Crystal Palace on 4 April 1988. He never made it as a professional football player and later went on to play for non-league Hilberry and Newcastle Town.
