Kevin John Gray (born 7 January 1972 in Sheffield, England) is an English footballer, playing as a defender for Workington.

[edit] Football career

He started his career at Mansfield Town signing as a trainee in July 1990 and had a successful four year period at Mansfiled. In 1994 Gray joined Huddersfield Town at the newly built Galpharm Stadium and played there for eight years and played just under 300 games for Huddersfield and he played one game on loan at Stockport County in 2000.

While at Huddersfield, Gray tackled Bradford City striker Gordon Watson in February, 1997, the sliding tackle broke Watson's leg and left him out injured for 16 months. Watson successfully sued Gray for negligence and was awarded £50,000 in interim damages.^[1] as well as a latter £900,000, the bulk of which was to compensate for the loss of anticipated earnings.^[2][3]

Then he joined Tranmere Rovers in 2002 where he had a nightmare spell playing just 18 games in 16 months.

In November 2003, he joined Carlisle United where he had a successful spell, playing a major part in the Conference and League Two successes and captaining the club. He was released in May 2007.^[4]

Gray was signed for Workington in July 2008 but hasn't played any competitive games as he is currently recovering from a knee injury.
