The 24-year-old striker had been a long time target of boss Steve Bruce, who put in no less than four bids for the player, before finally capturing him.<\/P>

The former England under 20 international has an abundance of pace and excellent technical ability and can play on either the left of midfield or as an outright striker.<\/P>

He finished the 2005\/06 season as top scorer for Micky Adams' Coventry side with 17 goals from the left flank. <\/P>

McSheffrey is a product of Coventry's Academy and prior to moving to St. Andrew's he spent his entire career with his hometown club, except for loan spells at Luton Town and Stockport County.<\/P>

Following his Coventry debut as a 16-year-old, McSheffrey went on to make a total of 162 appearances for the Sky Blues and scored 53 goals.<\/P>","e76RPirVkz989p7xdNfnxQ==":"4","MfYo5M+5B2M=":"173cm","LBxVjlQQG8R89p7xdNfnxQ==":"1982-8-13","OtSVGqqcufp89p7xdNfnxQ==":"2021-12-29","lNc6fWJUimw=":"\uac8c\ub9ac \ub9e5\uc170\ud504\ub9ac","HqBUMXWg5SY=":"154","sGPt2HUOhrE=":"Gary McSheffrey","IJm6455eac0uKBaW5hwYsw==":"999","G+tDALs0SHp6chrwYcgDXQ==":"\uc789\uae00\ub79c\ub4dc","gyU2qgZnfi8=":"671","7ErVlcjipBI=":"\ub3c8\uce90\uc2a4\ud130 \ub85c\ubc84\uc2a4 FC","ywroldXF+8pzqL2w3p57+Q==":"0","e_index":3}; var playerStats={"e_index":3};
