This appears to be a hoax.

This article is definitely not a hoax. There is a link in the article (and has been ever since it was first created) to Barry Hugman's site, where the player is clearly listed as having played professionally for Gillingham. He also has a listing in this book and a profile in this book, either of which I am happy to scan and send to you. -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:36, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and by the way, your claim that there is "no mention" of him on the Gillingham website is demonstrably untrue, because he is profiled here -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:40, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
