Gordon Morritt passes away

Former keeper passes away aged 76

The club is sad to learn of the death of our former goalkeeper Gordon Morritt at the age of 76.

Gordon was signed from Rochdale by Darlington when Dick Connor was manager in the summer of 1973, and he went on to make 37 appearances for us in that season. He produced some excellent performances, as we stayed away from the re-election zone after finishing rock bottom the previous season.

Our condolences go to Gordon’s family.
