Very sad news.
Gordon was an excellent goalkeeper; so good in fact, that Big Mal wanted to sign him for City at the time he left Leicester for Stoke . However, Sir Joe tried to do a deal and get him for less than Stoke's asking price of £50 000, and Gordon signed for the Potters.
I can just about remember the brilliant save from Pele, though I’ve seen it many times since.
I also remember the terrible car crash that led Gordon to end his career after losing the sight in one of his eyes.
A great 'keeper and a true legend of the game.
R. I. P. Gordon.
