Gavin Gordon (footballer)

Gavin Kenyatta Gordon (born 24 June 1979) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker.

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.

He scored his first goal for Cardiff on 1 January 2001 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.

At Oxford he scored the winning goal on his debut against York City[8] before returning to Ninian Park where he finally broke into the first team but at the end of the year he was released.

[citation needed] In October 2012, he was appointed to act as coach to Kris Jones who had taken over the running of Sleaford Town's reserve team in the Lincolnshire Football League.
