David Christopher McGhee (born 19 June 1976 in Worthing) is a retired English professional football utility player, most noted for his spells in the Football League with Brentford and Leyton Orient.
Starting out as a defender, McGhee began his career in the youth system at Plymouth Argyle. He was not taken on as a scholar by first team manager Peter Shilton and dropped into Non-League football to sign for local South Western League side St Austell.
McGhee joined Division Two side Brentford on trial in 1993, after the club responded to a contact request from his father. He signed a professional contract with the Bees in April 1994 and received his maiden call into the first team squad for a Football League Trophy first round match versus Brighton & Hove Albion on 19 October that year. He remained on the bench for the 1–0 victory. McGhee's professional debut finally came on 21 January 1995, when he replaced Darren Annon during a 2–1 league win over Hull City. He was largely an unused substitute for the rest of the 1994–95 season, making seven appearances and scoring one goal. McGhee established himself in the first team during the 1995–96 season, wearing five different shirt numbers and proving to be an able utility player. He made 45 appearances and scored six goals.
