Stephen Gray (7 February 1967 – 19 September 2009) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a right winger. Gray made 85 appearances in the Scottish Football League for Aberdeen and Airdrieonians between 1985 and 1993. Gray also represented Scotland at under-21 international level.

Career

Born in Glasgow,[2] Grey won the Scottish Youth Cup with Aberdeen in 1985,[3] [4] and then broke into the first team managed by Alex Ferguson, winning the 1985 Scottish League Cup Final.[2] He left Aberdeen in 1989 to join second-tier Airdrie for a fee of £70,000,[5] where he was part of the team managed by Jimmy Bone which achieved promotion to the Premier Division in 1991, but he dropped out of the senior game in 1993 to sign for Highland League team Huntly.[2]

Death

Gray died on 19 September 2009 in Irvine, aged 42.[2] After Gray's death, former teammate Stewart McKimmie commented that Gray had perhaps lost his way after Ferguson left Aberdeen in 1986.[2]
