Gordon George Riddick (6 November 1943 – 24 August 2018) was an English professional footballer who made over 400 appearances as a midfielder in the Football League for Gillingham, Brentford, Luton Town, Charlton Athletic, Northampton Town and Orient.[1][3][4] While with Brentford, a persistent ankle injury forced Riddick to retire from football in September 1976,[5] but he re-joined the club on a non-contract basis the following month and made 17 further appearances before leaving again in February 1977.[6] In addition to football, Riddick played Minor Counties Championship cricket for Hertfordshire.[7] He served Langleybury Cricket Club as captain, groundsman, committee member and president.[8]
