Gordon moved to Elland Road from Manchester United in March 1989 for a fee of £300, 000.

He was, by then, 32 years of age and many believed his best days were behind him but Gordon

was to prove the doubters in spectacular fashion. The inspirational Scot captained Leeds to the

Second Division title in 1989/90 and then in 1991/92 lead the club to their first top flight

championship for 18 years. Gordon is pictured above during the 2-0 defeat against Oldham on 8/2/1992.
