George Gerald "Gerry" Tordoff (6 December 1929 – 16 January 2008) played first-class cricket for Somerset, Cambridge University and the Combined Services in the 1950s and early 1960s.

[1] A left-handed batsman who could open the innings or bat in middle order and a right-arm medium-pace change bowler, Tordoff had two seasons of virtually full-time cricket in 1952 and 1955, but was otherwise restricted by his career in the Royal Navy to occasional matches.

Tordoff played a couple of matches for Somerset in 1950 without making much impact, but in his first game of 1951, his third in all cricket, he hit an unbeaten 87 against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge.

[3] Having been at Manchester University, he went to Cambridge for the 1951–52 academic year and won a blue for association football, playing at left-half.

In the 1952 cricket season, he played regularly for the Cambridge side, winning a blue alongside a galaxy of Test stars — Peter May, David Sheppard, John Warr and Cuan McCarthy had already appeared in Tests, Raman Subba Row, Gerry Alexander, Robin Marlar and Dennis Silk, who played only one match, later became prominent players.

[9][10] Somerset finished bottom of the County Championship in both 1953 and 1954, and the captain, Ben Brocklehurst, later owner and publisher of The Cricketer, resigned.

In 1959, he was captain of the Services team when Jack Bannister took all 10 wickets in an innings for 41 runs for Warwickshire at the Mitchells and Butlers ground in Birmingham.
