 ToffeeWeb - Everton Past Players: Scott Gemmill
Scott Gemmill was within minutes of missing out on the chance to resurrect his career with Everton when a motorway traffic jam meant that he signed his contract just minutes before the transfer deadline expired at 5pm on 25 March, 1999.
Everton's almost constant catalogue of injuries since then meant that Gemmill was often relied upon as the main playmaker in the midfield, a task at which he has proven to be adept on many occasions, but woefully unsuited on others.
With Everton's midfield in a constant state of flux, opportunities for Gemmill to make a central midfield berth his own are always there, but on balance he has proven to be a valuable squad player rather than a permanent solution to Smith's troubles in the 'engine room'.
