David Gibson (29 September 1895 – 26 September 1964) was a Scottish footballer who played as a left back, initially for hometown team Kilmarnock where he played for seven seasons between 1919 and late 1925[1] (Joe Nibloe establishing himself in the position thereafter). He had a short spell at Preston North End[2] before moving to the American Soccer League[3] where he featured for Springfield Babes, Fall River and Providence over five years,[4][a] returning to Scotland in 1932 with Queen of the South and Galston (both then playing in the Scottish Football Alliance league).[2]
He won the Scottish Cup with Kilmarnock in 1920[7][8] and the National Challenge Cup with Fall River in 1927.
