Biography

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 side’s performances, Villa turned to another veteran - 31 year old Hodgson - and signed him from Liverpool for a fee of £3,000 in January 1936 as Villa splashed the cash in an attempt to stave off relegation.

The gamble didn’t 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 £1,500.

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.

On This Day

Villa lose for the first time in five but are heavily beaten and now have just one win in seven second tier games under Jimmy McMullan. The latest reverse - Villa's 40th in 99 games under McMullan - would prove to be his last as he was sacked with Villa off the pace in the promotion race despite a strong first six games. Meanwhile, midfielder Tommy Wood made the last of his 71 appearances for Villa aged 28 before moving on to Newport County in December 1936.

Match Timeline

On This Day

Villa lose consecutive games for the second time this season and the first time under Jimmy Hogan and now have just two wins in their last thirteen second tier games to make it six wins, eight draws and five defeats in nineteen division two matches. Jimmy McMullan had recorded five wins, five draws and three defeats in his thirteen division two matches in charge and his successor Jimmy Hogan had now delivered one win, three draws and two defeats in his six game spell. Meanwhile, right back Jim Robey, 23, made his third and final appearance for Villa before moving on to Aberdeen in February 1938, whilst forward Gordon Hodgson, 32, made the last of his 28 appearances during which time he scored eleven goals before moving on to Leeds United in March 1937.
