Biography
During his period as president of the ACF, it was created many clubs in bordering zones of Chile for geopolitical reasons, with the goal to generate a sense of belonging, especially in front of Peru and Bolivia. On that way, it was established Cobreloa (1978), Deportes Iquique (1979) or Cobresal (1979).

In 1979, after a signature forgery scandal related to the Chile U-20 team, Gordon lost the ANFP elections to Abel Alonso, and, immediately afterward, Augusto Pinochet appointed him ambassador to Nicaragua.
