Sad news indeed, comparitively young at 70 too.
A mod needs to add R.I.P. to the title of this thread.

My ex was a Leeds fan so I used to toddle along to Elland Road with him, so watched McQueen and Joe Jordan playing.
They both transferred to Manchester United at the same time, so the next match (which was always a needle match) was extremely hostile. The chants were homophobic, to say the least.
70 is no age, at all, nowadays.

As a 7 year old who didn’t know much about football, he stood out for me in the ‘83 cup final as being one of ‘the others team’s’ best players. RIP
A quality striker. Would've won a load more caps if it hadn't been for Joe Jordan.
RIP big man.

Very sad news, another part of our youth lost to dementia, as was John Hollins yesterday RIP
At some point the clubs and the PFA are going to have to hold their hands up and admit this is a work place injury.

Very sad. Great player for Leeds and Manure.
I remember Chris Cattlin trying to sigh him for the Albion in 1985.

He was a Centre Back. Bloody good one as well. He must have terrified most strikers but not Joe Jordan.
He's one of the players I remember from when I first started following football and reading Shoot. He seemed to appear in the magazine and annual all the time.
I mixed him up with Andy Gray. I remembered that Gordon was dangerous at set pieces.Neville's Breakfast

Certainly was. Those pictures of him defending or attacking corners are iconic of that era, as mentioned by @Herr Tubthumper
In the 1983 FA Cup Final he sliced a ball into the stands where I was sitting (having had a knee op after standing behind the goal on the previous Saturday). Everyone around me leapt up to get the ball, which then hit me in the face as I couldn’t get out of the way.
Unfortunately it wasn’t shown on TV due to bad camera angles.
Thanks for the memory Gordon

Exactly the same for me too! Funny isn’t it, what do kids do today without paper pullouts from such mags? Blue tac & Shoot Magazine (or Match, later), my bedroom wall was plastered with players from that era because of. RIP Gordon.
There seemed to be a number of players who appeared regularly, from memory: Mick Channon, Andy Gray, Gordon McQueen and Ray Clemence.
