Only played eight premiership matches for St George but is an important figure in the history of the club. By 1921, Gilbert was established as a football giant: a rugby union international in 1910, Kangaroo in 1911–12, star of club rugby league in Sydney and England, Australian skipper in 1920. His decision to captain-coach St George, for whom he was residentially qualified, gave the fledgling outfit instant credibility. He remained a key figure following his retirement, as coach until 1926, selector and committeeman

Played a total of 8 games for St George
