He was in for about a year, then in and out for many years - a few
episodes at a time mainly
At one point Gordon was played by another actor because he was unavailable
Last appearances were Betty's funeral in 2012
He had a noticeable Scouse accent both in and out of character; he was
also a presenter on Radio 2 in the UK for some years.
So sad he didn't live to see the new stadium, but at least he won't see
us relegated next May.
