High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Nigel James Gibbs (born 20 November 1965 in St Albans), is a former English footballer. A Watford supporter, as well as a product of their youth system, Gibbs spent his entire professional career as a right back for the club. He was voted Watford F.C. Player of the Season in 1992, and later captained them. In addition, Gibbs played nine times for the England youth team, and five times for England under-21s. Upon retiring as a player in 2002, Gibbs stayed on as manager at Watford, primarily working with the youth and reserve teams. He took charge of the first team for a week following Ray Lewington`s sacking as manager, but in turn was dismissed by incoming manager Aidy Boothroyd at the end of that season. After taking a year off to acquire the UEFA Pro Licence, Gibbs joined Reading as a youth manager in 2006, reaching his current position of assistant manager in 2009–10.
