| Notes:
Gary signed for his boyhood heroes
Hearts from Whitehill Welfare and spent nine years at Tynecastle,
breaking the record for their youngest ever captain. He also won 10
Scottish Under 21 caps while with the capital club. When Jim
Jefferies moved down South to Bradford it wasn't long before Locke
followed him. Gary used to play at right back but through time JJ
has decided that he prefers him in a central midfield role, although
he is still utilised in a variety of positions when deemed
necessary. A tad injury prone, Gary has spent much of his career on
the treatment table, including a lot of his first season at Killie,
but he did miss all the pre-season training due to a contract
wrangle with Bradford. Tenacious in the tackle Gary is no stranger
to referees and can lose the plot at times, but that's not always
necessarily a bad trait. |
