Bob Gordon (25 July 1930 – 21 March 1995) was a Scotland international rugby union footballer. Gordon played as a Wing.[1]
Wilson played for Edinburgh Wanderers.[2]
Gordon played for Edinburgh District against Glasgow District in the 1950–51 season's Inter-City match.
Glasgow won the Inter-City match 11 - 3, the start of a run of 3 wins in the fixture. Despite the loss, The Glasgow Herald noted improvement in Gordon's game: 'There is less desperation in the play of Gordon than there was a year ago and his strong running and coolness in difficult situations almost produced two tries from poor chances.'[3]
He was capped for 6 times between 1951 and 1953, playing in 6 Five Nations matches.[4]
