Andy Gorton was a bizarre character. Love to know what he did after football.
Even once arrested for possession of bomb making equipment!
Even sacked not once, but twice, by Oldham Athletic.
One of the guys from our class at school was invited for a week’s trial at County. First day of training he was told simply to avoid Andy Gorton as much as possible, and don’t make him look a fool. One of the YTS lads had the tenacity to dribble round and score against Andy in a training match. Andy wasn’t pleased, chased after him and proceeded to knock seven sacks of shit out of the youth teamer on the touchline. The rest of the squad and coaches did nothing and the game restarted without them. The coaches said they had warned all the YTS and trialists beforehand, so what did they expect.
Also remember a game after Andy left County and he was playing for Lincoln at Sincil Bank and there was a County fan in the seats behind the goal who was singing “Andy Gorton is a w@nker’ for the whole of the first half before getting chucked out. Probably the most dedicated, continuous singing I’ve ever known.
