Gordon James Allpress (born 12 June 1949) is a New Zealand former professional darts player who competed in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s before retiring in 1992.
Allpress played rugby and rugby league before he started playing darts in a Saturday league team for the Woolston Working Men's Club in 1970 at the age of 21.
The very first season he played he never won a singles match and was ribbed much by his teammates.
In those days you played a round robin of pairs and then one game of singles.
In 1972 he watched the Australasian Darts Championships when they were held in Lower Hutt.
That was an annual competition which no longer exists between the Australian states and New Zealand.
