Notes: Gordon has had a bit of a whirlwind career and not really had long enough to settle in to first team football. After only 33 games with Clyde he moved to the English Premiership with Blackburn Rovers, scoring against Barcelona in a friendly on his debut! He only ever made one other first team appearance for the English big guns, in the League Cup, before being loaned out to Stockport. He signed for Killie on transfer deadline day of 2003 and was hailed as a future Scotland captain by former general manager Davie Mackinnon. Gordon is a centre half who can play a bit of football. Sometimes that can get him into trouble when he tries a forty yard pass instead of clearing his lines but it's nothing that a bit of experience won't fix. Update: Gordon represented Killie in the Scotland "B" international at Rugby Park on Dec 6th 2005, where the Scots ran 2-0 winners!
