Biography
Gordon Hodgson
Player #368 for Aston Villa, Gordon Hodgson, played as a forward for the club.
Gordon played for Villa in 1935-36 and 1936-37 making 28 appearances and scoring 11 goals.
Gordon was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, 7,588 miles from Villa Park, on 16 April 1904 and made his debut appearance for Villa on the 18 January 1936 aged 31.
Desperate to boost the sideโs performances, Villa turned to another veteran - 31 year old Hodgson - and signed him from Liverpool for a fee of ยฃ3,000 in January 1936 as Villa splashed the cash in an attempt to stave off relegation.
The gamble didnโt work however and despite Gordon hitting 4 goals in 15 appearances, Villa were relegated for the first time in their history.
Gordon stayed with Villa for their first season in the second tier and score 7 goals in 13 appearances before playing his final game on 5 December 1936 aged 32 after which he was sold to Leeds United in March 19377 for a fee of ยฃ1,500.
Gordon had played under managers Jimmy McMullan and Jimmy Hogan.
Gordon passed away from cancer in Stoke on Trent on 14th June 1951 aged just 47.
