Gavin Gordon

Description[from Freebase]

Gavin Kenyatta Gordon (born 24 June 1979 in Manchester) is an English footballer. He is currently playing for Redhill FC A youth player at Hull City, Gordon became the second youngest player to ever play for them when he came on as a substitute against Coventry City in the Football League Cup. But he struggled to ever establish himself at Hull and was allowed to leave and join Lincoln City for £30,000 in November 1997 where he formed a very effective strike partnership with Lee Thorpe. His scoring feats at Lincoln lead Cardiff City to pay £550,000 for him in December 2000, with the amount due to rise depending on appearances but he never reached the required amount. He made his debut for the Bluebirds on New Years Day and found the net with a header during a 6–1 victory over Exeter City, but the rest of his season was spent on the treatment table with persistent back problems. The same injury ruled him out of a large part of the following year, although one of the matches he did manage to play in was a LDV Vans Trophy match against Rushden & Diamonds which ended in a 7–1 victory for Cardiff with Gordon finding the net five times.
