Patrick John Gavin (born 5 June 1967) is a retired
striker for several clubs, with probably his most successful spell coming at Gillingham
.
Career
Gavin started out playing for non-league
First Division club Leicester City were able to sign him up. After protracted wranglings, Leicester agreed to allow him to return to Gillingham on loan for the 1989-90 season but the controversy affected his form and he scored just one goal in over thirty matches.[2]
Upon his return to Leicester he was unable to secure a first-team place and moved on to
non-league football, starting with two seasons at Farnborough Town.[3] During his time with Northampton Town, he scored two goals against Shrewsbury Town
on the last day of the 1992-93 season which left Northampton as 3-2 winners, thus preserving their league status.
In 2005 Gavin returned to the club where he had started his career, Hanwell Town, initially as player-coach. In January 2006 he stepped up to the role of joint manager, but his tenure ended in February 2007.
