Gynn began his career with his hometown club, Peterborough United, where he scored 39 goals from 188 appearances in all competitions, before joining First Division club Coventry City for a fee of £60,000.[3][4] He spent ten years and accumulated almost 300 appearances at the club, with whom he won the FA Cup in 1987.[5]

Gynn then moved on to Stoke City in August 1993 where he played in 29 matches in the 1993–94 season before retiring.[6] He became a postman in the Coventry area, and works as a match statistician for the Press Association.[3] In 2005, Gynn held his testimonial match at Coventry City's former ground of Highfield Road, the penultimate game played there before its demolition.[7][8]
