Bryan Gunn Biography

Bryan Gunn is one of the most popular and richest Goalkeeper who was born on December 22, 1963 in Thurso, Scotland.

Bryan James Gunn (born 22 December 1963) is a Scottish former professional goalkeeper and football manager. After learning his trade with Aberdeen in the early 1980s, he spent most of his playing career at Norwich City, the club with which he came to be most closely associated. This was followed by a brief spell back in Scotland with Hibernian before his retirement as a player in 1998.

Gunn attended secondary school at Invergordon Academy from 1975 to 1980, and gained O Grades in a variety of subjects, including English, maths, history and chemistry. He failed his French exam after taking it while “on the road” with Scotland under-15s. At the age of 13, he was invited to play for the under-15 Invergordon F.C. team by one of his school teachers, who managed the team. The team was beaten 9–0 in Gunn’s debut, but his subsequent performances attracted the attention of national selectors, and he joined the Scotland under-15 squad around the same time he signed for Aberdeen at age 14.

In 1983, Gunn travelled with the Scotland Under-19s to Mexico for the 1983 FIFA World Youth Championship. Gunn played in all four of Scotland’s matches and it was a formative experience, as he faced a variety of challenges in the tournament. The adidas ball in use “really zipped through the air”, which encouraged long-range shots at the high altitude. In the first match, against South Korea, an element of the 26,000 crowd “clearly didn’t like us at all … I got absolutely pelted with coins … and rotten fruit”. The final insult was when he was hit on the back of the neck by a rancid-smelling plastic bag containing rotten fish. Gunn found it “intimidation … a nightmare” but adopted the strategy of patrolling the edge of his area to stay out of range and had “one of the best games of my life”: he kept a clean sheet as Scotland won 2–0. Scotland’s coach and future manager of the full international team Andy Roxburgh told Gunn “it was the best performance he’d ever seen from a Scottish goalkeeper, at any level.” The final group match, which Scotland needed to win in order to progress, was against the home side, Mexico. The official attendance at the Azteca Stadium was 86,582, although Gunn believes the true figure was over 100,000. Once more, Gunn was targeted with a variety of missiles, including a bottle of Johnnie Walker, but as Scotland held on to their early 1–0 lead, the fans became disillusioned with their own team and switched to sending a “hail of bottles and coins” on the Mexican players. Scotland lost 1–0 in the quarter final against Poland.

Gunn says of the move south: “Norwich was easy to settle into, a bit like Aberdeen in many ways—a city surrounded by lovely countryside and lots of farms.” However, since he joined the club partway into the new season, he initially found it difficult to take over as first-choice goalkeeper. Gunn had been bought as a replacement for England international goalkeeper Chris Woods, who had moved to Rangers F.C. Meanwhile, reserve team keeper Graham Benstead made a series of good performances and Norwich were top of the league. Ken Brown wanted to be fair to Benstead and made Gunn wait. A 6–2 defeat at Anfield proved to be the catalyst for Gunn’s promotion to the first team. He made his debut in a Full Members Cup win against Coventry City, conceding a penalty, and made his league debut in a 2–1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur at Carrow Road on 8 November 1986.
