David Smith Gordon (29 December 1882 – 1963)[2] [3] was a Scottish football player and manager. Gordon, who was born and raised in Leith, played for local side Leith Athletic while also working as a French polisher.[4] He moved to England in 1905 to play for Hull City, for whom he made over 270 appearances in nine years.[4] Gordon returned to Leith Athletic in 1914, before moving to Hibernian in 1916.[4]
After Hibernian manager Dan McMichael died due to the effects of the flu pandemic, Gordon was appointed manager in February 1919.[4] His time in charge of Hibernian was unsuccessful, but he signed some players who reached Scottish Cup finals in 1923 and 1924 under his successor, Alex Maley.[4] Gordon resigned as Hibs manager in April 1921.[4] After this he had short stints as a player with Kilmarnock, St Bernard's and Leith Athletic, before his playing retirement in 1922.[3] [4] Gordon later managed Hartlepools United and St Bernard's.[3] [4]
