Timeline

1966

Kevin William Gallacher (born 23 November 1966) is a Scottish former professional footballer and football pundit and co-commentator.

1983

He played as a forward from 1983 until 2002, notably in the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers where he was part of the title-winning squad in 1994–95.

He also played in the top flight for Coventry City and Newcastle United as well as in the Scottish Premier League for Dundee United and in the Football League for Preston North End, Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town.

He made 53 appearances for Scotland, scoring 9 goals and was part of their Euro 92, Euro 96 and World Cup 98 squads.

Gallacher started his Scottish League career with Dundee United, where he spent seven years as part of a successful team under the guidance of Jim McLean.

1985

He made his first team debut in December 1985 aged 19 years old in a UEFA Cup tie against Neuchâtel Xamax and three days later played against Rangers at Ibrox.

He soon established himself in the side with his fast and penetrating wing play.

1987

He helped United reach the 1987 UEFA Cup final, scoring against Barcelona in the quarter-finals en route.

United, however, lost on aggregate to IFK Göteborg.

He married Aileen Binnie in 1987.

Individual

1988

The following year Gallacher scored Dundee United's goal in the 1988 Scottish Cup final, in the 2–1 defeat by Celtic.

A week later he made his full international debut for Scotland against Colombia.

1990

Gallacher moved to Coventry City in January 1990 for a transfer fee of £950,000 and became a fans favourite for three years.

Having played for most of his career to date as a winger, Gallacher was used as a striker for most of his time at Highfield Road, and was the club's top scorer in seasons 1990–91 and 1991–92.

1993

He then joined Blackburn Rovers in March 1993 for £1.5 million, as they looked to fill the gap up front left by the long-term injury absence of Alan Shearer.

He made an immediate impact, scoring on his debut in a 4–1 win over Liverpool.

1994

However, two broken legs (the second sustained in his first game after the original injury) the following season restricted him to just one Premier League game in 1994–95 when Blackburn won the FA Premier League.

He did score in that game, a 2–1 win against Crystal Palace.

Premier league winner, Blackburn Rovers, 1994-95

1996

Gallacher returned to full effectiveness in 1996–97, however, scoring 10 goals to help avoid a relegation scare.

1997

In 1997–98 he formed a potent partnership with Chris Sutton, scoring 16 goals himself as Blackburn finished 6th.

1998

However, injuries and inconsistencies meant he missed much of 1998–99, although he was the team's top goalscorer with five goals.

Gallacher won 53 caps for Scotland, and was in the squads for the Euro 92, Euro 96, and 1998 FIFA World Cup tournaments.

He scored nine goals for his country, six of them in 1998 World Cup qualification, a significant contribution to the successful campaign which included perhaps his most famous international goals, a double against Austria at Celtic Park in 1997.

Gallacher has worked as a co-commentator and studio analyst for BBC Radio Lancashire, BBC Radio 5 Live, Sky Sports, Setanta Sports, BBC Scotland and Channel 5.

In addition to this he is also a columnist in the Lancashire Telegraph.

1999

Blackburn were relegated in 1999, just four seasons after having won the title.

He then moved to Newcastle United, becoming Bobby Robson's first signing as Newcastle manager.

Gallacher was mostly used as a right winger, a role he adapted to well, and despite a lack of goals, was fairly popular with the Newcastle fans for his work rate.

2002

Spells at Preston North End (where he scored twice against Kidderminster Harriers and Sheffield United), Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town followed before hanging up his boots in 2002, ending a career which had seen him score a total of 106 goals in 430 games in the English and Scottish leagues.

2006

In 2006 he published a book, Tartan Turmoil: The Fall & Rise of Scottish Football, a semi-autobiographical look at the problems faced by Scottish football.

2010

In 2010, he started working for ITV, commentating on FA Cup games.

He is the grandson of the late Celtic forward Patsy Gallacher, who died before Kevin was born.

His uncles Willie and Tommy and cousin Brian were also footballers.

The Gallachers are also related to another footballing branch of the family, John Divers and his son of the same name who both played for Celtic.
