Gordon Riddick

Gordon George Riddick (6 November 1943 – 24 August 2018) was an English professional footballer who made over 400 appearances as a midfielder in the Football League for Gillingham, Brentford, Luton Town, Charlton Athletic, Northampton Town and Orient. While with Brentford, a persistent ankle injury forced Riddick to retire from football in September 1976, but he re-joined the club on a non-contract basis the following month and made 17 further appearances before leaving again in February 1977. In addition to football, Riddick played Minor Counties Championship cricket for Hertfordshire. He served Langleybury Cricket Club as captain, groundsman, committee member and president.
