Dan Gordon (footballer)

Daniel "Dan" Gordon (7 January 1881 – 1958) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a full-back for various clubs in the early years of the 20th century.

Football career

Gordon was born in West Calder (then in Midlothian) and started his professional career with local side Broxburn before moving to England in April 1903 to join Everton.

Gordon was unable to break into Everton's first-team and, after a year of reserve team football, he moved to the south coast in the 1904 close season to join Southern League champions, Southampton.

At The Dell, Gordon was understudy to England international George Molyneux. Described as "a capable fullback with the physique of a blacksmith", he had a "deceptive burst of speed" which helped the Saints reserves win the Hampshire Senior Cup in 1905. In the first team, Gordon made only six Southern League appearances, each time as replacement for Molyneux at left-back.

In the summer of 1905, Gordon returned to his native Scotland to join St. Mirren, where he remained for three years before signing for Middlesbrough of the English Football League Second Division in May 1908. After six months and one appearance for Middlesbrough, he then joined fellow Second Division club, Bradford Park Avenue where he remained for two years making 50 league appearances. By the end of the 1909–10 season, he had joined another Second Division club, Hull City, for whom he made only eleven appearances before returning to Southampton in the summer of 1911.
