  • Steven Gillespie is an English professional footballer currently playing for Colchester United F.C. Gillespie, a technically gifted striker, began his career as a trainee for Liverpool. Gillespie began his career with Liverpool having carved out a name for himself as a goalscorer in schoolboy football. He broke Robbie Fowler's goal-scoring record for Liverpool Schools; he later had his record broken by Wayne Rooney. In 2004, having had few opportunities at Liverpool, he was released and was quickly signed by Bristol City, then of Coca-Cola League One, who are now in the Coca-Cola Championship. He continued to find himself without many chances and later in 2004 was sent on-loan to Cheltenham Town of League Two, where he scored 4 goals in 5 appearances and instantly became a favourite with the team's supporters. Gillespie once again joined Cheltenham on loan at the end of the 2004-2005 season, and again in the first half of the 2005-2006 season, scoring a further 5 goals. He signed a permanent two-and-a-half year contract in January 2006, for an undisclosed fee. Despite signing a new contract in August 2007, Gillespie handed in a transfer request in the summer of 2008. Less than a week after handing in the request, Gillespie was sold to fellow League One club Colchester United for a fee of £400,000. On the 7th July 2008, Gillespie signed for Colchester following a successful season with Cheltenham in which he scored 16 goals. It was a club record signing fee of £400,000 as the U's looked to bounce back to the Championship. To date, he has endured a stop start beginning to his career in North Essex; persistent injuries and suspension hindering any run in the team.
