Gordon’s playing career was with Everton, a club which featured in the top division of the former men’s National League from 1972 to 1986 and twice finished runners-up to champions Polytechnic.
He then concentrated on coaching and helping develop many fine players – including his four daughters (Joanne, Alison, Helen and Kathryn) – for his beloved City of Liverpool Club.
Liverpool’s triumph at the inaugural Champions Cup event in May will be seen as a lasting tribute to a man who gave so much to his club and to the sport in general.
BWPL offers its condolences to Gordon’s wife Jean and family.
