Dave Gibson (Scottish footballer)
Scottish footballer
David Wedderburn Gibson (born 23 September 1938 in Kirkliston, West Lothian) is a former Scottish footballer, who played for Livingston United, Hibernian, Leicester City, Aston Villa, Exeter City and the Scotland national team.
Considered to be one of the finest and most skilful players in Leicester's history,[3][4] he was the playmaker and creative force of the great Foxes side of the 1960s under Matt Gillies, including the "Ice Kings" side that fell just short of winning the 'double' in 1962–63. He scored in both legs of Leicester's 1964 League Cup final victory and also played in a further three cup finals for the club.[5]
Gibson earned seven caps and scored three times for Scotland, including a goal against Spain at the Santiago Bernabéu 12 months before Spain became European Champions.[6]
