Brian Gayle

Brian Gayle (born 6 March 1965) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender. As a player he helped Wimbledon to the 1988 FA Cup Final where they achieved a shock 1-0 win over Liverpool. However, Gayle was not in the squad for that game.

While at Sheffield United in 1992, Gayle scored an own goal in a match against local rivals Leeds United which led to a 2-3 Leeds's win. This coupled with Manchester United losing to Liverpool gave Leeds the Division 1 title and denied Manchester United their first championship in 23 years.
