SAD LOSS ANOTHER BLUEBIRD R.I.P.

Gordon Yandell, a legend among us oldies, a Tredegar lad mad as a box of frogs, he been living in Edinburgh a good few years now, but still turned up wherever, a real character and a sad loss to all that knew him.

So sad to hear this news....dedicate this win today to Gordon...a city fan for over fifty years

He didn't used to drink in Janes Bar on leith walk did he Gwyn?

Knowing Gordon' he would have drunk in all the bars in leith, especially the ones with ladies dancing around poles.

Quite a stout balding gentlemen?


Was always called Taff up here?

Obvious reasons I assume...

Always looked after us young Rhymney boys on the Hills buses of Tredegar on the away games.RIP Butt

Gordon Yendall he was a legend back in the 80s He was always at our games and was a character to the last. I remember early 80s away to Bristol City and we was going towards a Bristol City Pub and they poured out and threw it seemed like the entire glass contents of the Pub at us which halted our forward motion. Then out of no where a line of old Bill appeared and they were right in front of us and gordon bent down and picked up a half broken pint glass and was about to give it to a copper (if you know what i mean) and i managed to grab his arm and stop him as the copper was frozen to the spot and the rest of our Lads got him to the back. But instead of thanking me he gave me a volley of abuse for stopping him . But he moved to Scotland i think and i never saw him again after those mad years of the 80s

RIP GORDON

R.I.P.

Sad, sad news that gwyn, i'll never forget when i went to my first ever away game, it was orient (1974-75 i think) i made my way to newport train station and met up with a bunch of lads from tredegar, gordon was amongst them, he was barking mad, and for years after that i would meet him at many an away games, he never had any teeth and was always up for a laugh. RIP GORDON.

gutted when I was told the news.so many memories of so many laughs with a total city mad head.peterborough away being my favourite.shared a taxi with him and in that 20 min journey many Gordon like capers were performed.during the 80s you could always guarantee bumping into him.rip Gordon I know your health wasn't great recently may you now rest in peace

we had a b and b booked in torquay where i booked the double bed first for myself when gordon turned up having paid £75 train fare down from edinbrugh and that was in the early eighties so my mates said he could sneak in with us and gave him half my bed what a nightmare swearing at each other every time we moved ,remember him and john from harlepool leaving stinkbombs in pubs all over blackpool on a friday night down there its a shame hes gone .

RIP Gordon. I met him quite a few times when i started coming down to the games many years ago. He always went out his way to make sure the Clydebank boys were ok.

R.I.P. Gordon, will never forget you mate & no one who knew you will forget either, give them hell up there, i know you will !! Good night and God bless.
Jack Lewis.

RIP
