In the 34th minute of the home match v Ipswich Town in 1992-93, Gordon had a groin injury that finished his season, ruling him out for seven months. When he came back Ossie Ardiles was the new manager and he was employed in a deeper lying role and even covered for Colin Calderwood in defence when he was sent off at Ipswich in September 1993.
His son Scott was a youth team player at Rangers and then signed for East Fife in 2010, joining his father at the club as Gordon was appointed as assistant manager in November 2010.
