Scot joined the Blues after failing to agree a new contract at Nottingham Forest following his return from France '98. The Midlands club placed him on a week-to-week contract and he eventually made the move to Goodison, signing just minutes before the transfer deadline in 1999.

Son of the former Scottish legend Archie Gemmill (who once famously turned down a move to Everton), his first few weeks on Merseyside were spent helping the Blues avoid relegation - ironically one of the main reasons why he wanted to leave the City Ground.

A midfielder, who enjoys his football most when linking up the defence and midfield, Scot has plenty of passion and vision and is able to unleash accurate shots from long range.

His first full season on Merseyside was hampered by a catalogue of injuries, but he has overcome his problems to cement a regular role in David Moyes' midfield.

A full Scotland international, Scot was out-of-favour with coach Craig Brown prior to the upturn of his Goodison fortunes, but he was recalled for the World Cup qualifiers with Belgium and San Marino and has since kept his place, and is now a regular in Berti Vogts side.
