shannon gibson

shannon gibson -lrb- born 7 november 1975 -rrb- is a former australian rules footballer who played with hawthorn and collingwood in the australian football league -lrb- afl -rrb- during the 1990s .
gibson was recruited by hawthorn with the 23rd pick of the 1993 afl draft , after earning ` best on ground ' honours for the northern knights in their tac cup final win over the western jets .
he kicked two goals and two behinds on his afl debut , a win over the previous year 's grand finalists geelong at kardinia park .
in his three seasons at hawthorn , gibson was unable to cement a place in the team but did kick four goals against geelong in 1997 and three goals in a win over melbourne a week later .
he was traded to collingwood at the end of the 1997 season , for paul sharkey , who did not end up playing a game for hawthorn .
gibson himself only made three appearances with collingwood , suffering from a hamstring injury throughout the year .
he returned to preston once he was delisted and began playing with the northern bullants , at the time called the preston knights .
after topping their goal-kicking in 1999 , gibson was captain of the bullants from 2000 to 2003 .
