Appointed to the manager's job in November 2008 after the shock resignation of long serving predecessor Jamesy Kirk. Gordon was previously Jamesy's number two and is also Youth Co-ordinator for the club. He previously coached the club's Under 16 and Under 18 sides. He was instrumental in bringing the Apex Sky Blues youth teams into the Comrades youth set up, so that now the club has eight teams lining up at youth level from under 11 to under 18.
