Player #466 for Aston Villa, Gordon Lee, played as a full back for the club.
Gordon played for Villa between 1958-59 and 1964-65 making 142 appearances and scoring twice.
Gordon was born in Pye Green, Hednesford, just 19 miles from Villa Park, on 13 July 1934 and made his debut appearance for Villa on Saturday, 6 September 1958 aged 24.
Villa had signed Gordon from Hednesford Town in October 1955.
Gordon’s debut came in Villa’s relegation season in which Gordon made 14 appearances as Villa finished 21st.
The following season although a happier one for Villa with the club winning the Second Division Championship and gaining promotion back to top flight football at the first attempt saw Gordon absent from first team duties.
Gordon would however return to make 11 league appearances in 1960-61 and help Villa post a ninth-place finish and a League Cup final. Gordon played in both legs of the final, played the following season due to fixture congestion, which saw Villa defeat Rotherham United 3–2 on aggregate to become the inaugural winners of the competition.
From the 1961–62 season Gordon became a more regular starter, making 114 appearances over the next four campaigns as Villa finished seventh in 1961-62 and once again reached the League Cup final in 1963.
In 1964-65 Gordon helped Villa reach the League Cup Semi final before playing his final game on Wednesday, 31 March 1965 at the age of 30 after six eventful seasons with the Villa.
Gordon subsequently moved on to Shrewsbury Town in July 1966 as player manager before embarking on a full time managerial career across the north of England including Port Vale, Blackburn Rovers, Newcastle United, Everton and Preston North End as well as a spell in Icelandic football as boss of KR Reykjavík.
Gordon had played under Villa managers Joe Mercer and Dick Taylor
