Edward "Eddie" Gibbins (24 March 1926 – 7 August 2011) was an English professional footballer who played for Finchley and Tottenham Hotspur. He was born in Shoreditch and died in Kingston St Mary.[1]
Gibbins joined Tottenham Hotspur from non-league club Finchley in September 1946. The centre half played four senior matches in all competitions for the Lilywhites between 1952 and 1953.[2]
Following his retirement, Gibbins managed local London based sides Edmonton, Hounslow and Hayes.[3]
