Gary Chivers (born 15 May 1960) is an English former footballer who played as a defender in the Football League for Chelsea, Swansea City, Queens Park Rangers, Watford, Brighton & Hove Albion, AFC Bournemouth,[2] and in the Norwegian Premier League for Lyn Oslo.[3]
A central defender, Chivers began his career with Chelsea in 1979, and remained with the club until 1983, a poor period in the club's history.[4] He then moved to Swansea City, followed by spells with Queens Park Rangers and Watford. He settled at Brighton & Hove Albion, enjoying a six-year stint with the club from 1987.[2] He spent the summer of 1993 playing in Norway with Lyn Oslo[3] before playing out his career at AFC Bournemouth, retiring from professional football in 1995.[2] He played non-league football in Sussex, becoming a chauffeur (with his own stretch-limo) for a living in Surrey before going on to work in the football-related media and in private coaching.[5]
