Steven Gillespie (born 4 June 1985 in Liverpool) is an English professional footballer currently playing for Cheltenham Town
Gillespie, a technically gifted striker, began his career as a trainee for Liverpool.
Gillespie began his career with Liverpool having carved out a name for himself as a goalscorer in schoolboy football. He broke Robbie Fowler's goal-scoring record for Liverpool Schools then had his own record broken by Wayne Rooney.
In 2004, without many opportunities he was released and was quickly signed by Bristol City then of Coca-Cola League One, who are now in the Coca-Cola Championship. He continued to find himself without many chances and later in 2004 was sent on-loan to Cheltenham Town of League Two, where he scored 4 goals in 5 appearances and instantly became a favourite with the teams supporters.
He then once again joined Cheltenham on-loan at the end of the 2004-2005 season, and again in the first half of the 2005-2006 season, scoring a further 5 goals. He signed a permanent 2.5 year contract in January 2006, for an undisclosed fee.
Gillespie is one of four former Bristol City players at Cheltenham, with the others being Damien Spencer, and the two Scott Browns, one being a midfielder, the other being a goalkeeper.
Gillespie, on 7 August 2007, put pen to paper on a new contract that will keep him at Whaddon Road until 2010.
