Marcus Gayle
| Date of birth | 27 September 1970 |
| Place of birth | Hammersmith |
| Nationality | Jamaican |
| Weight | 80 kg |
| Height | 1.85 m |
| Position | Defender/Forward |
Gayle continued to remain popular with the Wimbledon faithful in 2000-01 and was a regular in the line-up before completing the surprise move of the year to Rangers in March.
A versatile player who can either take a left-midfield role or play up front, he is particular effective in the air and his skills are equally useful when helping the defence or leading the attack.
Having enjoyed a long career as an exciting attacker, Gayle similarly impressed when he was switched to centre-back soon after his move to Watford.
Gayle originally returned to Brentford in March 2005 on non-contract terms.
He subsequently agreed a deal with the Bees to the end of the 2005-06 season in May 2005.
