Didnt know the lad but reading the thread he was a well liked guy and a great player my thoughts go out to his family and friends and to all connected with Dumbarton FC

[Pachyderm I]

Well I'm gutted. What a shame. RIP.

[KnightswoodBear]

Incredibly sad, even more so that he leaves a wee 5 month old without a father.

[Howlin' Wilf]

I would have said the same about Gordon when alive as now.

A fine player, a good ambassador for Dumbarton FC and a nice man who went out of his way to talk to supporters. He carried the responsibility of being captain of the Sons with great aplomb.

Sincere condolences to his partner Kelly, wee Kai and all of Gordon's family.

[Günther]

Absolutely gutted... can't say anything other than that...

Guido was a Govan lad and got to know him through Harmony Row. He was also a few years above me in School... Such a sound lad tae...

Absolutely gutted to hear this, especially on the back of hearing another lad who went to school with us died last weekend from a brain aunerism. 2 good guys in 1 week...


RIP Guido...

[Adolfo Rios]

Unbelievable sad news. My thoughts are with his family, especially his girlfriend and their baby who is know without a father

RIP

[sons-team]

shocking news!!!!!!

you could say there were better players in the world BUT i really dont think you could find a better club captain, r.i.p gordon

[the_russian]

Awful news. A player who was highly rated by many opposition fans, and by all accounts a real gent off the pitch too. The fact that he'd recently become a dad just adds to the tragedy.

[Sons FC]

Absolutely appalling news.

When I came up from England recently for a regular visit I attended the Berwick game which we won 2-0. I said in my sum up on P&B at the time that we were lucky to have such an athletic, powerful and clever player, one could easily play at a higher level.

Very, very sad for his family and friends and one of those tragedies that goes beyond football.

[Radford]

Very sad news.

I remember when he started out with Albion Rovers, he was getting rave reviews on here and won his move to Thistle. Clearly a popular player and a popular guy at the Sons.

RIP Gordon.

[Drooper]

Desperately sad news. I live in Dunbartonshire and keep up to date with how the Sons are getting on. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Why is he called Guido?

[aftershocker]

i think all the posts from supporters of all teams speaks volumes about the man

will be sadly missed and i would echo thoughts of the receipts of the Thistle game perhaps donating to his partner and son

RIP Guido

[lazarus814]

Tragic news. RIP

Hope Dumbarton and Thistle can sort out a tribute match. Sounds like he would deserve it. Gutting for his family as well.

[Neilly]

I would imagine as much Stenny fans as possible would make the Dumbarton/Partick game if it was in aid of Gordon's family.

He is held in such high regard by everyone they could probably sell it out twice over though.

Just like to echo the sentiments on here. Never seen him play but by all accounts he would have probably moved on to a higher level in the next year or two. However as always in tragedies like this the people who know him first and foremonst recognise a gem of a guy who merely had a talent at football.

Football can cope without great players but its all together different when the world loses a great person. R.I.P

I'd definately be there! If this happens - the match in aid for his family - 1 bus (minimum) would be full of Stenny fans

[fanny paddery]

My thoughts go to his family at this time

[C. Muir]

Not sure about fellow Clyde fans, but I would definately go.

[LOL @ Celtic]

A player that always impressed me whenever I watched him. He always had that big smile on his face as well.

RIP.

I have known Guido for 10+ years and even though he was a few years older than me he would always come and talk to me and play footy with me when he could easily have ignored me and went and hung out with his mates.

I remember when i was about 14 our local churc had a car boot sale and he swindled me into buying a pair of Ice Skates. I didn't skate at all so my dad wasn't to happy but we had to laugh when we found out they were a pair of Figure skates.

I would definantly go if the proceedings go to Gordons family.

R.I.P Guido you will be sadly missed.

I would hope that this could be arranged. A fitting tribute for the great guy he was.

The big man will always be remembered as a sons legend.
