Board & Ambassadors

Gordon was born in Edinburgh in February 1957. A retired Scottish football player, he is now manager of Celtic. During his largely successful playing career he played for Dundee (1974-1977), Aberdeen (1977-1984), Manchester United (1984-1989), Leeds United (1989-1995) and Coventry City (1995-1997).

He won 50 international caps for Scotland and is a member of the Scotland Football Hall of Fame. Renowned for his deadpan humour as much as his shrewd tactical awareness, quotes attributed to him have become legendary among football supporters. Gordon was appointed as the official FIFA/SOS Ambassador for Scotland, joining fifty others in fund raising for the official 2006 FIFA World Cup Charity.
