Career

Clyde

Mensing joined Clyde permanently in May 2002. Mensing became a huge fans favourite, with his aggressive style of play and was given the nickname "Gunter" due to his German roots. His versatility was also an important feature of his game, playing in every defensive role, as well as midfield on several occasions, and occasionally as a striker.

t. Johnstone

Mensing scored the only goal of the game in St. Johnstone's win at Queen of the South in the second league game of the 2006-07 season.

On February 28 2007, Mensing was named as the BBC's Man of the Match in St. Johnstone's televised 2-1 Scottish Cup win at Motherwell, a result which took the Perth club into their second cup semi-final of the season.
