Gordon Britton

Newport RFC were saddened to hear of the passing of Hall of Fame player Gordon Britton.

Gordon represented Newport 212 times between 1959 and 1969 scoring 36 tries and 5 drop goals. Primarily a centre he also appeared on the wing, at full back and also outside half.

Gordon’s ability attracted the attention of the Wales selectors and he made an appearance versus Scotland in 1961.

A fantastic player who represented the club during one of its finest eras.

Our sympathies go to Gordon’s family and friends.
