Gibb originally tried out for Carlton but after being rejected was picked up by Melbourne after winning the 1933 Gippsland Football League's best and fairest award, the Trood Medal.
He was a forward and had his most prolific season in 1935 when he topped Melbourne's goalkicking with 59 goals in a tally which included two bags of nine. In 1940 and 1941 Gibb played in back to back premiership teams.
