I am deeply saddened to hear of Gordon's passing. He was a smashing guy and as others have said, he did so much to promote our hobby. He will be greatly missed.
Gorffwys mewn heddwch Gordon.

Very saddened by the news.

Simply a top man. A big loss to all those who knew him.

A pleasure to have known him. Such a gentle ,kind helpful man who will leave a big hole in the organising and promoting of our fairs.

Gordon was a true gent... kind, humble, courteous and a very likeable person.

I will admit know that I knew nothing of his 'football' pass until I read about it on Twitter.

RIP Gordon Sad

Thank you for all your kind comments. I am Gordon’s sister and miss him so much!

His programme collection is for auction which ends on April 26th. A great amount of work went into clearing his 2nd floor walk up apartment, garage and storage locker. MST was chosen as it is housed in a former hangar and had room to store the vast collection during the uncertainties of Covid and then have room to sort it all out. All of it is backbreaking work which I appreciate so much from 5,000 miles away.

Gordon obviously enjoyed looking at and cataloguing all of these programmes and my only hope is that other people will get the same enjoyment and the programmes will continue to circulate.

Please feel free to share. Thank you so much.
