Kilmarnock FC - Player Profiles 2002-03 Full Name: Gary McSwegan Nickname: Sweegers Position: Forward/Striker Date of Birth: 24th September 1970 Birthplace: Glasgow Height: 5ft 7ins Weight: 10st 9lbs Former Clubs: Rangers, Notts County, Dundee Utd, Hearts, Barnsley (loan), Luton (loan) Signed KFC: 1st July 2002 Notes: Gary was another of Jim Jefferies signing who came in for stick before he even arrived because he was one of JJ's former players. He came through the youth ranks at Ibrox but never really cracked the first team and eventually moved south to Notts County for £400,000. After a couple of years down there he decided to move back north and Dundee United shelled out £375,000 for his services. After three years at Tannadice JJ moved in to take Gary to Hearts on a free transfer where he enjoyed a fairly successful period (including two Scotland caps) before JJ went to Bradford, then his face didn't fit any more and he spent the rest of his contract out on loan at Barnsley and Luton. To be fair when he finally arrived at Rugby Park he had missed the pre-season training and was well overweight and unfit to boot. After a pretty awful start and a real roasting from some sections of the Rugby Park faithful, Gary seems to have regained his form and his fitness and a few vital goals later has seen his six month contract extended to twelve months and possibly longer. Will forever be remembered by all Killie fans who traveled midweek to Aberdeen for the 'Waltzing McSwegan' song. We know how to party! Fan's Comments |
