http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/hibernian/8526472.stmTributes have been paid to former footballer Alan Gordon, who has died from cancer at the age of 65.
Gordon made his mark at Edinburgh and Dundee's senior clubs, beginning at Hearts in 1961 before moving to Dundee United, Hibernian and latterly Dundee.
There was a stirring minute's applause in his memory at Tynecastle on Sunday before Hearts' match against Hamilton.
Former Hibs captain Craig Paterson has described Gordon as "a great striker and a very clever footballer".
Born in 1944, Gordon turned out for the Jambos on 111 occasions between 1961 and 1967 while training to become an accountant.
His second game for the Tynecastle side, for whom he scored 49 goals, was the 1961 League Cup final against Rangers, which the Glasgow side won after a replay.
Gordon left for South Africa for a spell with Durban United and, after a second spell with Hearts in season 1968/69, Jerry Kerr signed him for Dundee United.
His most memorable time in the game, though, was with Eddie Turnbull's Hibs, whom he joined in 1972 and with whom he enjoyed League Cup and Drybrough Cup final successes over Celtic in his first season.
Paterson, now a BBC Scotland football pundit, recalls being taken to see Gordon star for "Turnbull's Tornadoes".
"Eddie Turnbull was a team-mate of my dad's so I was always taken to see Hibs play and, of course, I would get to watch Alan Gordon play regularly.
"That team was a joy to watch. Alan was a great big striker, very good in the air, and he used to team up with Jimmy O'Rourke up front. They were a classic little-and-large pairing.
"There is a great quote from those days - that Turnbull supposedly told Alan Gordon that the problem with him was that all his brains were in his head!"
Paterson was in the crowd at Tynecastle for the 1973 New Year's Day derby when Gordon was on the scoresheet in the 7-0 hammering of his first club Hearts.
"Yes, I was there, but there are 100,000 Hibs fans who claim to have been there!" said the former centre-half before reeling off Hibs' usual starting 11 from that era.
Gordon scored 51 goals in 84 matches with the Easter Road side, where he played for just under three years before joining Dundee, and in signing for the Dark Blues is believed to have become the first player to have turned out for the two senior clubs in Edinburgh and Dundee.
Hibs will have a minute's applause in his honour before their Scottish Premier League game against St Johnstone on 27 February.
Talk about play for your rivals, RIP Gordon
