He usually plays at right-back, but can play anywhere across the defence or in midfield. His strengths are his professional approach to the game and the enthusiasm and whole-hearted determination he shows on the field. |

Since 1986, Bath City had drawn a significant amount of income from allowing Football League club [[Bristol Rovers F.C.|Bristol Rovers]] to share their [[Twerton Park]] ground; Rovers' return to Bristol at the end of the [[1995–96 in English football|1995–96 season]] meant that savings needed to be made, including cuts in the playing budget.<ref name="Randall's goals give City a reminder of glory days">{{cite web |

|accessdate=2008-10-08}}</ref> In 2002, [[the Football Association]] selected an "all-time" team of players capped at semi-professional level, "representing the very best of this level over the years". Gill occupied the right-back spot in this team, which included players such as [[Alan Smith (footballer born 1962)|Alan Smith]] and [[Steve Guppy]] who had gone on to represent England at [[England national football team|full international level]].<ref name="England's finest semi-professionals"/> |
|||
International selection attracted [[scout (sport)|scout]]s from Football League clubs, and Gill was invited to [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] to take part in trial matches. Halfway through the season, Roberts had brought striker [[Howard Forinton]] to Yeovil from [[Oxford City F.C.|Oxford City]]; his 23 goals in 21 games<ref name="Season 1996-97 Goals"/> did much to secure the Isthmian League title and promotion to the Conference, and also caught the eye of Birmingham manager [[Trevor Francis]]. A deal was struck which saw Gill and Forinton join the [[Football League First Division|First Division]] side in August 1997 for a combined fee of £100,000, with Gill valued at £30,000 plus an additional £10,000 payable as and when he played ten first-team matches.<ref name="Programme">Birmingham City F.C. match programme (23 December 2000), pp. 22–23.</ref><ref name="Yeovil's £10,000 windfall">{{cite news |

===Birmingham City=== |
|||
Gill struggled to get into the first team at [[St Andrew's (stadium)|St Andrew's]]. He finally made his debut in [[the Football League]] at the age of 27 on 18 April 1998. Then in the summer of 1998 the club brought in [[Gary Rowett]] from [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester]] as first choice right back; in his two seasons at the club Rowett missed only five League games. During this period Gill captained the reserve side to victories in the [[Birmingham Senior Cup]].<ref name="Programme" /> |
|||
He played in well over half Birmingham's games the next season, [[2000-01 in English football|2000–01]], despite competition from new arrival [[Nicky Eaden]] from [[Barnsley F.C.|Barnsley]], [[Northern Ireland national football team|Northern Ireland international]] winger [[Jon McCarthy]] often used at right wing-back, and a variety of loan signings. In particular, he took part in most of the games in Birmingham's run to the final of the [[Football League Cup|League Cup]], including an excellent performance<ref name ="Halford021114">{{cite news |

|||
in the second leg of the semi-final against [[Premier League]] [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich]]. With the score still goalless, he made a goal-line clearance from a header which – had it gone in – would have left Birmingham needing to win by three clear goals in normal time.<ref>{{cite web |

|||
Yet when it came to the final, manager Francis was unable to find a place for Gill even amongst the substitutes, preferring McCarthy and Eaden in the starting eleven and [[David Holdsworth]], a defender who had been unavailable since the previous November due to serious illness, on the bench. Unsurprisingly Gill was devastated by this decision, describing it as "the biggest disappointment of <nowiki>[his]</nowiki> whole life".<ref name="Tattum021113">{{cite news |

|||
Gill played in virtually every game after the League Cup Final until Francis left the club the following October, but was then dropped by caretaker managers [[Mick Mills]] and [[Jim Barron]]. Though he did then receive a League Cup runners-up medal; club secretary Alan Jones had kept a spare one back, which he presented to Gill after Francis left.<ref name="Tattum021113" /> |
|||
Under new manager [[Steve Bruce]] he played only one game, and when the team won promotion to the Premier League that season, it became clear that his future lay elsewhere. |

===Northampton Town=== |
|||
At the start of the [[The Football League 2002-03|2002–03]] season Gill joined [[Football League Second Division|Second Division]] club [[Northampton Town F.C.|Northampton Town]] on a month's [[loan (football)|loan]]. Northampton's manager, the former Birmingham player [[Kevan Broadhurst]], praised his qualities of leadership and determination: |

|||
For the following season, Gill was given another one-year contract, with an option for 2006–07 if he managed 20 games during the season. Not only did he start twice that number, his starting place and winners' medal in the [[Football League Two play-offs|League Two playoff]] final at the [[Millennium Stadium]] went some way to alleviate the disappointment of missing the 2001 League Cup final.<ref>{{cite news |

In 2006–07 Cheltenham flirted for a time with relegation but finished in mid-table. Gill needed to play 25 games to trigger the offer of another year's contract; he achieved this before Christmas,<ref name="PFA interview 2007" /> and chose to take up the offer.<ref>{{cite web |

:''"We played Birmingham City in pre-season and he got a lovely ovation from their supporters and it was the same at Yeovil last year. He got a lovely clap at Northampton a few weeks ago when he was taken off. I don't think that happened by coincidence. And I've got a feeling that if he leaves Cheltenham he will get a similar reception if he comes back with another club. Supporters recognise him and they see the whole-heartedness and the commitment and the ability that he has got."'' |
