Andrew Gordon - Former Club Captain

Another true Gentleman

Friday, 11 March 2016By Roger Holmes

We are saddened to learn that former 1st XV Captain Andrew Gordon has recently passed away.

Andrew was involved in the early days of the Club and was Captain in the 1981-82 season and was also Chairman from 1983-85.

A tall and bearded dashing full-back in his playing days Andrew was a strong driving force in the formative years of our Club.

Although he had lived in the Midlands for some time, he still popped into the Clubhouse when in the area.

Our condolences go out to his family & friends.


A minutes silence will be observed at 2pm prior to kick off of the 1st XV fixture at Littlemoor.
