Peter Gillott (20 July 1935 – 23 January 2021) was an English footballer who played as a full back.
Gillott began his career with Worsbrough Bridge Athletic, before moving to hometown club Barnsley in 1953.[1] Gillott made five Football League appearances at Barnsley over the course of six years, leaving to sign for Chelmsford City in July 1959, being signed by manager Harry Ferrier for a fee of £1,000.[2] [3]
In 1964, Gillott, and fellow Chelmsford stalwart Derek Tiffin, were jointly awarded two testimonials against Swedish club IFK Holmsund and Romford.[4] In May 1966, Gillott signed for Margate, being made club captain on his arrival. Gillott made 64 appearances in all competitions for Margate over the course of a single season, before re-signing for Chelmsford. Upon his return to Chelmsford, Gillott was appointed reserve team manager.[5] On 10 January 1970, Gillott made his final appearance for Chelmsford in a 4–3 FA Trophy loss against Bedford Town.[4] Gillott amassed 376 appearances during his time at Chelmsford, scoring six times, placing him eighth on the club's all-time record appearance makers list.[6]
Following his time at Chelmsford City, Gillott played for Old Chelmsfordians, playing for the club into his fifties.[7]
