Liam Gordon, defender extraordinaire, drawn breath for the first time on 26th January 1996, hails from the bonnie nirvana we've come to know as Scotland. Regarded as a bastion of defence within the Motherwell footballing fraternity, he is most adept when deployed as the central defender. That's not all, Gordon's stats are imposing; with a height of 6 feet (1.83m) and weight of about 13 st 3 lb (84 kg), he's a formidable figure on the field. To ensure he's easily spotted amidst the chaos that is football, Gordon dons the number 4 jersey.
As is the nature of the sport, the market value of players can correspond to their prowess on the field. According to the reputable Transfermarkt, the figure hanging over Gordon is an impressive £425k.
In the annals of Gordon's career, the 2014-2015 season saw his debut with Arbroath, marking his name against ten first-team appearances. The following season was split between Elgin City, where he totted up 12 appearances and St Johnstone with a singular appearance to his name.
Gordon's journey with the Football League continued peripatetically; the 2016-2017 season found him making seven appearances with Peterhead. St Johnstone then came calling once more, presenting Gordon with seven appearances in the 2017-2018 period.
During his tenure with St Johnstone from 2018 to 2024, Gordon’s position within the team solidified significantly. He racked up an impressive 158 first team appearances and scored four commendable goals during this era of his career.
With the dawn of the 2024 -2025 season, the tables turned. Motherwell now found its defence bolstered with the inclusion of Gordon to their ranks. Already, he has notched up eight first team appearances. His contribution to the team was further recognized by his selection to start in five matches in the League Cup during the same season.
