Gavin Peter McCann (born 10 January 1978 in Blackpool, Lancashire) is an English former footballer who played as a midfielder. He has one England cap to his name, playing against Spain at Villa Park in 2001. He is Head of Academy Coaching at his hometown club, Blackpool.
McCann played junior football for Y.M.C.A juniors in Lytham St Annes. He signed for Everton where he was a product of their academy. In 1998 he moved to Sunderland where he was a member of the side which won the Division One title and promotion to the Premiership with 105 points in 1999.
He signed for Aston Villa in 2003, where he had numerous injury setbacks. He scored one goal in the 2006–07 season in a 3–1 home loss to Manchester City. He was no longer guaranteed first team football, so decided to leave Villa Park, and in June 2007, he signed a five-year contract with Bolton Wanderers.
McCann scored his first goal for Bolton in their 1–0 UEFA Cup group win over Red Star Belgrade in December 2007 and followed this up with a goal in a 1–1 draw with Sporting Clube de Portugal at the Reebok Stadium three months later in the knockout stage of the cup. He scored his first league goal for Bolton in a 1–0 victory over Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium on 19 April 2008.
