Brian Wilbert Gayle (born 6 March 1965) is an English former professional footballer who played as a central defender.[1][2]

Gayle began his career at Wimbledon as an apprentice, signing a full contract in October 1984.[3] He spent time with New Zealand club Napier City Rovers before breaking into the first team.[4][5] He helped Wimbledon to the sixth round of the 1987–88 FA Cup, which the club ultimately won, but was given a red card for a foul on Malcolm Allen in the match, against Watford, and did not feature in later rounds.[6] In July 1988, Gayle joined Manchester City for £325,000.[3]

He was transferred to Ipswich Town for £330,000 in January 1990, and then joined Sheffield United in a £750,000 deal in September 1991.[3] While at the Blades, in 1992, Gayle scored an own goal in a match against local rivals Leeds United, which led to a 2–3 defeat. This, coupled with Manchester United losing to Liverpool, gave Leeds the First Division title.[7][8]
