Such a shame that this has been up an hour and I'm the first person to reply to this thread.
People too busy arguing the toss to pay respects to an ex player. We truly are losing our soul.
A great b/w photo. RIP Gordon.

It is a shame Always sad to see ex players like this, I bet he wasn't living like Rooney or Beckham now either and was just a "normal" bloke.

RIP, at least you pulled on a shirt when it meant something, just to pull on the shirt. That applies to all professional football teams not just CCFC.

Gordon, your family can be proud.

R.I.P Gordon and thanks for the pleasure you gave to Coventry fans.

Your Photo with Charlie Timmins another Coventry legend bought back fond memories

May you both rest in peace.
