PHOTOGRAPH OF KEITH GILLESPIE

Keith Gillespie

Midfielder

Valued by Newcastle at £1m in the £7 part-exchange deal which took Andy Cole to Manchester United in January 1995, Northern Ireland international right-winger Keith is a fast and direct raider capable of out-sprinting any full-back. His right side prowess gives the side and important wide option, and he can provide the crosses upon which the likes of Les Ferdinand and Alan Shearer thrived last season. Made 43 appearances in all last season, including 12 as a substitute, and is a regular in Bryan Hamilton's Northern Ireland side.
Born Bangor, Northern Ireland
Date of Birth 18th February 1975
Height 5ft 10in
Newcastle apps (to end of 1996-97) 95
